Hello, I'm Hossein N.
I’m a serial entrepreneur and strategic growth architect with 20+ years of experience co-founding and scaling 10+ startups and SMEs across the MENA region, spanning industries like smart metering, health tech, AI, IoT, energy efficiency, and water resource management. I specialize in turning high-impact ideas into operational ventures—building everything from modern utility markets to regional demand-shaping frameworks. My work includes leading multi-stakeholder partnerships, and supporting founders in navigating regulatory and commercial complexities. With a hybrid background in business development, product-market fit, and operational execution, I bring both strategic clarity and hands-on support to startups and scaleups looking to expand, transform, or break into new markets. I’m currently focused on advisory, venture building, and Entrepreneur-in-Residence roles—particularly where innovation meets infrastructure, sustainability, and human impact.
