Founder of TAG Solutions. Building AI, automation, data intelligence and SaaS products for the next generation of businesses across the GCC.

Founder & Managing Director · TAG Solutions
What I’m building
Over the last decade I’ve helped organisations build technology solutions. Today I’m focused on turning operational problems into scalable products — real businesses, with users, revenue and a roadmap, not side projects.
Sales Intelligence Platform
For Sales teams running outbound at scale
Turning lead generation, enrichment and outreach into a repeatable growth system rather than a stack of disconnected tools.
Live
Helping businesses make location and market decisions using real-world data instead of instinct and anecdote.
Live
Connecting storage demand with warehouse supply, and giving both sides pricing and utilisation they can actually act on.

Who I build for
Every product on this page started inside somebody’s working day. These are the four kinds of organisation where that work tends to pay off.
Organisations where the bottleneck is the workflow, not the headcount — and where a system has to survive audit, scale and regulation.
Process-heavy, data-rich
Teams with a real problem and no product organisation yet, who need a narrow first version that solves one job completely.
Pre-product to first revenue
Firms sitting on insight earned one client at a time, looking for the product line that makes it compound instead of reset.
Agency, consultancy, integrator
Companies generating operational exhaust every day and using almost none of it in the decisions that matter.
Logistics, retail, property, finance
In the room
These four kinds of organisation aren’t a market-sizing exercise — they’re the operators and founders I actually sit across from. The segment comes second; the conversation comes first.

Leadership in action
Products get built in private, but they get understood in rooms full of people. These are the conferences, stands and conversations where the work meets the market it is meant to serve.
01On the stage
Standing up in front of a room is the fastest way to find out whether an idea holds. The talks are about what actually ships — operating systems for product teams, AI wired into real workflows, and the unglamorous decisions underneath both.
An idea you cannot explain to a room is an idea you have not finished thinking.
02GITEX Global · Dubai
GITEX Global and Expand North Star put the whole regional stack in one hall — government buyers, enterprise teams, founders raising their first round. Days here are spent listening to how organisations actually operate before deciding what is worth building.
The best products are discovered in operational pain points, not brainstorming sessions.
03LEAP · Riyadh
Riyadh is the fastest-changing market in the region, and LEAP is where that change is visible in a week. Transformation programmes here create demand for systems that did not exist a year ago — which is exactly where a new product finds its first customers.
Transformation creates demand for systems that did not exist a year ago.
04Partnerships
Most of what matters at an event happens away from the keynote — a handshake with a team building the same thing somewhere else, an introduction that turns into a pilot. Empowering founders, innovators and future leaders starts in exactly these conversations.
Leverage has shifted from headcount to clarity, tooling and the right rooms.
The shift
Services teach you where problems exist. Products let you solve them repeatedly. After years of delivering solutions for organisations across the GCC, I’m focused on transforming recurring challenges into scalable software products.
Delivering for organisations across the GCC.
The same problems appear in different companies.
Friction becomes predictable, and therefore priceable.
A repeatable solution replaces a bespoke one.
Products compound into systems others build on.
The shift
A services business learns the expensive way — one client at a time. A product is how that learning stops being spent and starts compounding.

Focus
Not AI as a feature bolted onto software — AI as the assumption underneath how the software is designed in the first place.
Model-backed workflows wired into the systems a business already runs on.
Removing the manual handoffs that quietly cap how fast a team can move.
Turning operational exhaust into decisions people trust and act on.
Agents that carry a task end to end, with the guardrails to be trusted.
Systems built for scale, audit and the realities of regulated markets.
Keeping a working edge on what is newly possible, then shipping it.
TAG Solutions is part of Anthropic’s Claude Partner ecosystem — with active work across the Claude API, Claude Code, MCP and production agent systems.
Applied AI
The interesting AI work is never the demo. It is the evaluation, the guardrails and the audit trail that make a model safe for a business to depend on.

The product operating system
The same six moves every time. The order matters more than the speed — most failed products skip straight from observation to building.
Sit inside real operations. The signal is in how work actually gets done, not how it is described in a deck.
Find the step people work around. Repeated workarounds are unpriced demand.
Test whether anyone will pay to remove the friction before a line of product code is written.
Small team, short cycles, a narrow first version that solves one job completely.
Instrument from day one. Usage decides the roadmap; opinion only proposes it.
Harden the system, widen the market, and turn the product into a platform others build on.
“The best products are discovered in operational pain points, not brainstorming sessions.”
Rules of thumb
Founder thinking
Five positions that shape what gets built, who builds it, and what gets left alone.
A services business earns its insight the expensive way — one client at a time. Products are how that insight stops being spent and starts compounding.
AI-native is not a feature set. It is an operating assumption: that judgement, retrieval and execution are available at the cost of a query.
A problem someone already pays to work around, a market that can be reached, and a version one narrow enough to ship this quarter.
Models are converging and becoming commodity. Proprietary operational data is the part a competitor cannot buy, copy or prompt their way to.
Leverage has shifted from headcount to clarity and tooling. Six people with the right systems now out-ship the thirty that preceded them.
Long-term
The long-term goal isn’t simply creating software. It’s building a connected set of products that help businesses make better decisions, operate more intelligently, and use AI in ways that actually hold up in production.
Long-term
The GCC is not a market you build for once. It moves quickly enough that the only useful question is what it will need next year — not what it bought last year.

Work with me
Different problems need different shapes of help. Whichever one fits, the first conversation is the same: what is actually slowing you down.
Take a problem from validation to a launched product.
Best when there is a real problem and no product team yet.
Start hereWire model-backed systems into operations already running.
Best when the workflow exists and the handoffs are the cost.
Start hereWorking sessions on product direction and team design.
Best when the team is capable and the direction is the question.
Start here
How it starts
No proposal and no deck. The first conversation is diagnostic — where the handoffs are, what people work around, and whether removing it is worth paying for.

Questions
Software products in AI, automation and data intelligence — plus the platforms underneath them. Four are named on this page; two are live and two are in build.
With observation, not a proposal. I sit inside the real operation to find the step people work around, then test whether removing it is worth paying for. Only then does anything get built.
The work is centred on Dubai, Riyadh and Lahore, and that is where the market knowledge is deepest. Remote engagements elsewhere are possible when the problem is a good fit.
Yes. That is often the better shape — your team knows the domain, and the engagement adds product direction, AI systems experience and delivery capacity where it is missing.
Rarely a chatbot. Usually a model-backed workflow wired into systems a business already runs on, with the guardrails, evaluation and audit trail that make it safe to depend on.
A narrow first version is a matter of weeks, not quarters — that is the point of keeping version one to a single job. Scale and hardening come after usage says the job was the right one.
