Why Work With Me

Real experience.
Not theory.

Most consultants advise from the outside. I've been on the inside — managing 70-person teams, navigating UAE regulators, negotiating with suppliers, and opening venues across Dubai and Abu Dhabi.

I know what goes wrong, and how to prevent it.

Deep UAE market knowledge — Dubai, Abu Dhabi, free zones, mainland
Established network of suppliers, contractors, and licensing contacts
Proven track record managing AED 15M+ annual revenue across venues
Multilingual — English, Russian, Armenian (great for international investors)
You work directly with me — not a junior associate
