47, Male from Los Angeles, United States and speaks EnglishAvailable for Collaboration, Interviews in In-Person, Remote Formats
Hi, I’m a serial-entrepreneur and an award-winning author of several books on entrepreneurship, gaining investments and growing a successful business for adults and kids. I have 25+ years of experience in C-Suite positions, where I’ve build from the ground up multiple multi-million dollar companies around the world (Africa, GCC, Asia, North America). I’ve had a number of successful exits and some battle scars as well, which have given me a perspective that most people don’t get. I love working with startups, founders, executives, and CEOs locally and globally, helping them grow their network and think outside the box.

Hi, I’m a serial-entrepreneur and an award-winning author of several books on entrepreneurship, gaining investments and growing a successful business for adults and kids.

Why Invite me?
With over 25 years of starting up and selling multi-million dollar businesses I have had some successes and failures along the way. I have built companies all over the world and I have stories to tell. From crashing a multi-million dollar party in Dubai to get an investment (which I did, and I would do it again in a heartbeat but maybe with James Bond moves next time. I have to up my game right?) to building one of the largest ecommerce platforms in Africa. To building a disruptive music company and the list goes on. I am also a father of 2 successful kids (well I call them kids. Shh they will always be but don't tell them that.) and have written a book on raising successful kids. I have also won several awards for my book on how to build a successful company at the highest valuation for investors. I love thinking outside the box and sharing and learning. I am on the board of several growth companies globally and simply love helping people and connecting founders, entrepreneurs and business owners people to the right people and resources.
