Story

A decade of building, selling and teaching.

For the past ten years I've built companies, led sales teams and stood in front of rooms full of founders, students and brand managers. Most of what I know, I learned by doing it first.

Building brands. I took TVGM's content studio from an idea to its own company, directed and produced 100+ commercials and films for brands like Samsung, Pepsi and Shell, and worked on campaigns recognised at Cannes Lions, Clio and the Effies. Along the way I grew a Dubai agency to 100 retainer clients.

Selling and coaching. I built a business past $1M a year in sales, worked on AED 1M monthly targets in Dubai, and now coach founders and sales teams on funnels, scripts and CRM habits that close deals.

On stage. I've spoken, mentored and judged at LUMS, FAST and the Plan9 incubator, run workshops with Panasonic, and been featured in Hello!, Grazia and BBC Urdu. I talk about entrepreneurship, sales, brand building and putting AI to work.

Today I bring all of it to the Gulf: helping people start companies, grow them with better sales and AI, and invest in Ras Al Khaimah.

How do I set up a business in the UAE or Saudi Arabia?

Start by choosing the right jurisdiction for your activity and budget: a Ras Al Khaimah free zone such as RAKEZ, Dubai mainland, another UAE free zone, or Riyadh. Zo Alam advises on the choice, then handles licensing, visas and banking introductions so you can start trading.

Why invest in Ras Al Khaimah real estate?

Ras Al Khaimah offers beachfront property on Al Marjan Island, home to Wynn Al Marjan Island, the UAE's first integrated resort with a licensed casino, due to open in 2027. Entry prices are generally lower than comparable waterfront in Dubai.

Does Zo Alam offer sales coaching?

Yes. Zo Alam coaches founders and sales teams on sales funnels, scripts, CRM hygiene, consultative selling and follow-up, drawing on 13+ years of B2B sales and work on AED 1M monthly targets in Dubai.

What are AEO and GEO?
