About

Amir built a fintech from a Riyadh garage to a regional category leader. He talks plainly about what actually works in MENA — and what investors here look for that decks rarely show.

What I help with

  • Adapting a Western playbook to MENA realities
  • Building local partnerships that compound
  • Recruiting senior talent without a brand yet
