About Me
The world has changed.
Connecting with customers and audiences is no longer about pushing messages via traditional marketing strategies but it’s about engaging communities connecting them via original crafted content.
I hold more than 20 years of experience in various aspects of media production and creative technology, with a particular understanding of the New Media models.
I have been pioneering various new media technology driven projects in the UAE, and I hold a successful track record in developing and adapting new technologies across multiple disciplines as well as incorporating them into media / educational eco-systems.
In the Region I have collaborated with world cutting edge technology driven companies such as TED Conferences and Apple and I have the experience required to guide, mentor and build new technology based initiatives.
I have also worked closely with Government entities in UAE, Bahrain, Qatar, Kuwait and Jordan developing and leading media oriented seminars.
Currently working as Curator for the Sheikha Salama Al Nahyan Foundation in Abu Dhabi.
This is my past work.
Co Owner of Zer0 | Online media strategies and training.
Project Manager for HHS Majid bin Mohammed Al Maktoum Private Office.
Curator of TEDxDubai
TEDYou Speaker at TEDGlobal 2010 and TED Active 2011
I regularly give lectures and workshops on new media production technologies in conjunctions with the latest developments in new social media tools.
I love the UAE to bits while living on the Grid, almost 24/7.
