How Abdur-Rahman is shaping the future with confidence

"As someone who grew up in Zimbabwe, studying and working in South Africa and now living in the UAE, I am passionate about connecting people. I use my networks to solve skills gaps, unlock opportunities and realize impact. I’m extremely passionate about helping to positively shape the future of society, especially for those without a support ecosystem. I advise a number of family businesses and entrepreneurs on their scaling journey, encouraging them to think beyond their first million dollars and traditional scaling route and how to plan for a structured exit".
