Advice shaped around practical execution, clear ownership, and decisions that hold up in the real operation.
15+ years of industry experience
Operator experience.
From strategy to live.
I have spent more than 15 years building, launching, and managing iGaming businesses across MENA and Africa—from early market strategy to full-scale live operations.
My background covers the complete operator lifecycle: market research and licensing coordination, financial planning, platform selection and setup, supplier negotiations, payments, sportsbook and casino product, KYC and AML, team building, marketing, customer operations, and performance management.
BetArabia stands among my flagship projects. I led its development from the initial pitch through commercial planning, platform selection, supplier integrations, team build-out, operational readiness, and launch—turning an ambitious concept into a live gaming operation.
I have also directed online and retail operations across Nigeria, Zambia, Chad, Burundi, and the Central African Republic, and provided consulting support for projects in the Democratic Republic of the Congo and Tanzania. Today, that experience is applied in Iraq across the full business—from commercial structure and technology to people, controls, go-to-market, and live operations.
Regular participation at major international gaming exhibitions has helped me build a strong, practical industry network. I have built and operated complex gaming ecosystems with leading platform providers, payment partners, and a wide range of game suppliers—evaluating, negotiating, and integrating the right solutions for each market and operating model.
