My passion lies at the intersection of psychology, innovation, and strategic foresight—particularly in understanding and addressing the critical challenges posed by misinformation and disinformation alongside the impact of AI on the Future of Work. As an Executive Advisor with over two decades of experience guiding transformative change, my mission is to empower governments, organizations, and individuals to navigate the complex landscape of information manipulation effectively.

Leveraging my expertise as a Business Psychologist and my deep understanding of government innovation, I've advised senior officials and executives on pioneering strategies that drive meaningful, future-oriented change. My latest book, "NOW THAT YOU KNOW: SPOT, RESIST, and DEFEND Against Manipulative Information, " delves deeply into the psychology behind misinformation and disinformation, offering actionable frameworks and strategies to identify, resist, and counter manipulative information.

Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of leading significant strategic innovation initiatives across the Middle East, Africa, and beyond. My thought leadership is enriched by my role as an award-winning author, international keynote speaker, and innovator—with eight published books, a national bestseller, and multiple global awards, including a patented innovation in mobile payments.

Educationally, I hold dual bachelor's degrees in Business Management and Computer Science from USJ University, a Master of Science in Business Psychology from Heriot-Watt University, and executive education credentials from Georgetown University, Harvard University, and Stanford University.

I thrive on sparking meaningful conversations and collaborations that reshape thinking and drive profound change, guided by curiosity, empathy, and strategic foresight. Let's connect and explore ways to navigate the challenges and opportunities presented by misinformation, innovation, strategic leadership, and the future of work.
