Speaking
Keynotes, panels and moderation on FDI, SEZs and cross-border investment.
I speak on what makes countries, cities and economic zones genuinely competitive for investment – and how governments and business can turn that competitiveness into sustainable growth. Drawing on three decades working across the Gulf, Europe and Asia Pacific, I bring together the perspectives of government, investors and industry, translating between them to connect ideas, capital and opportunity across borders.

Speaking themes
- Foreign Direct Investment & Location Competitiveness
- GCC, Europe & Asia Pacific Investment Corridors
- Special Economic Zones & Future Cities
- Economic Diversification
- Sustainable Investment & ESG Competitiveness

I am available for keynotes, panel discussions, fireside conversations and moderation on foreign direct investment, special economic zones, investment destination competitiveness, cross border trade and capital flows, and sustainable economic development.
