MUSIC

A builder’s mindset.
A racer’s focus.

I’ve always liked starting things—from selling music posters at school to building businesses in events, culture, and technology. My career in banking, customer experience, and operations taught me how much good work depends on understanding people.

Fatherhood is a central part of my life. So are the pursuits that give me a different perspective: car racing, triathlon, and independent music. Over time, my idea of success has grown to include purpose, relationships, and room to enjoy the journey.

Finding
the line.

Car racing has been a significant part of my life, including the thrill of race wins. It’s a pursuit that brings preparation, precision, and complete focus together.

Behind the wheel, the challenge becomes wonderfully immediate: the next corner, the next decision, the next opportunity to improve.

A DIFFERENT KIND OF DRIVE

Swim. Bike. Run. One discipline at a time.

Going the
distance.

It started with running, without worrying too much about pace or distance. Running became triathlon, and training became a way to find clarity and make space to think.

Two half-Ironman finishes are part of that journey. The finish line matters, but so does the work—and the people—that get you there.

train as a team.”

A life with
a soundtrack.

I love music—especially indie music. There’s something about discovering an independent voice and wanting more people to hear it.

That love became Arabic Indie, a page I started and built to share Arabic independent music. A personal passion, turned into a place for discovery.

It also lives in the everyday: time at the decks, looking through music shops, and bringing another record, cassette, or CD home.

Music you
can hold.

I collect vinyl, cassettes, and CDs. The artwork, the sleeves, the ritual of choosing something to play—physical music has a place in my life that a playlist can’t quite fill.

Helping others
find their potential.

Developing people has been a constant in my life—from training teams and mentoring founders to humanitarian volunteering. I care about the progress people make, and the confidence they find along the way.
