Founder, Chairman & Head of Strategy, T57

I work at the intersection of AI, global trade, food security and financial infrastructure, focused on a simple question:

How can we use technology, capital and human intelligence to make the real economy work better?

As Founder & Chairman of T57.AI, I am building AI-native infrastructure for global food trade and food security.

The world does not simply have a food production challenge. We also have an execution challenge.

Between a producer and a market sits a complex network of buyers, finance, logistics, compliance, payments, data, technology and governments. When these systems remain fragmented, food, capital and opportunity do not move as efficiently as they should.

T57 is being built to connect these pieces.

Our vision is to create trusted infrastructure where goods, data and capital can move more intelligently across borders, connecting producers, enterprises, governments, financial institutions, logistics operators and technology partners within an interoperable global ecosystem.

But technology alone will not solve every problem.

Food trade is global. Agriculture is hyperlocal.

Climate, soil, water, infrastructure, culture and market realities can change dramatically from one region to another. AI can process enormous amounts of information and identify patterns at a scale humans cannot. At the same time, farmers, traders and people on the ground hold knowledge and context that may never fully become data.

This is why I believe the future is not AI versus human intelligence. It is AI + HI.

Technology can help us see more. Human intelligence brings context, judgment and accountability. Bringing both together can help us make not only smarter decisions, but wiser ones.

Beyond T57, I lead AlMukarramah, working across food security, agriculture, trade and economic development through partnerships with governments, institutions and the private sector.

As Chairman of AMK Holding, a Riyadh-based multi-family office, I oversee strategic investments and partnerships across infrastructure, energy, logistics, industrial supply chains and the digital economy, aligned with long-term economic transformation and Saudi Vision 2030.

I also speak globally on AI, global trade, food security, financial infrastructure and the future of the real economy, drawing from the experience of building, investing and working across markets.

My conviction is simple:

The future should not be defined only by how intelligent our technology becomes, but by what that intelligence enables in the real world.
