I’m passionate about designing innovation ecosystems that solve real-world challenges—especially at the intersection of emerging technologies, financial systems, and global regulation. Currently, I lead the Trade & Investment Innovation portfolio at the World Economic Forum, where I spearhead the first-ever TradeTech Regulatory Sandbox in partnership with the UAE government, startups, and global regulators. Together, we’re testing frontier solutions—like AI, stablecoins, digital identity, and MLETR-aligned documentation—to reimagine the future of cross-border trade. With a background spanning strategy & innovation consulting (KPMG, BDO), open innovation (Samsung), and Intellectual Property (UnitedLex), I bring a cross-sector lens to solving complex regulatory and technological challenges. I believe in building bridges between the public and private sectors—and scaling tech that creates public good. 🚀 Areas of interest: • TradeTech, Trade Finance AI, Tokenization • Public-private innovation models (sandboxes, accelerators) • Global digital trade policy & cross-border collaboration • First-generation student advocacy | Community building
