You don’t need an AI strategy; you need a strategy — a bold vision backed by cohesive tactics and plans — to thrive in the age of AI, today and tomorrow
Having studied computer science and originally started his career in IT with industry giants like Hewlett-Packard and IBM, Keirin pivoted to consulting after earning his MBA from the University of Toronto. As a result, his approach blends technical acumen with strategic foresight.
Inspired by the bold visions of his clients in the Middle East and dedicated to their long-term success, Keirin often draws inspiration from his clients’ ambitious perspectives as he helps organizations prepare not just for current trends but for future challenges as well.
A proud father of two, Keirin has diverse interests, ranging from making quality espresso and tasting wine to cooking steaks and triple-cooked chips for his family and friends. He also has a love of singing, which he inherited from his late mother, who was the main vocalist for a rock band many decades ago.
