The operator

Decades of operating. Built around AI now.

It started at eighteen with a first flight to Dubai and a first job at Sana Fashions — where thirty years took me from GM to VP Operations. Then came founding Le Pearl (10 retail stores) and holding the YOYOSO master franchise (15 stores) — 60+ stores built across the GCC, a sourcing belt from Surat to Bangkok, and a working life across 26 countries.

I don't sell AI. I sell the translation layer between your accountant's spreadsheet and the agent that's about to run half its work.

Today that experience is the foundation under Stackbirds and a Canadian entity in motion — the bridge between platforms built in Silicon Valley and businesses run on the ground in the Gulf.
