I operate at the intersection of payments strategy, merchant ecosystems, and commercial growth - with 13 years of hands-on experience building and scaling fintech partnerships across the UAE, GCC, and India. I've structured PSP alliances, built acquirer networks, driven enterprise merchant acquisition across high-risk and low-risk verticals, and deployed embedded finance and digital lending platforms at scale - managing portfolios worth AED 500mn+ in transaction volume and negotiating commercial frameworks at C-suite level across regulated fintech environments. My advisory practice is built for people who need someone who has actually done the work - not theoretical frameworks, but real-world execution intelligence across payment rails, partnership structuring, and market commercialization. Who I work with: 1. Fintech founders & startups building or scaling in the UAE or GCC 2. Payment companies structuring PSP alliances or merchant acquiring strategies 3. Corporates deploying embedded finance, BNPL, or digital lending products 4. Merchants & PSPs evaluating stablecoin or crypto payment rails - high-risk or low-risk 5. Professionals making a serious career move into payments or fintech
