Shoukat Talks

What does it really take to build and scale a business in the UAE and the GCC? I've spent 19 years finding out, and on Shoukat Talks I share it first-hand.

I'm Shoukat Ali Mohammad. For 14 years I led finance for a €1B+ European tech group across the GCC, Egypt and Türkiye. I set up and ran entities in 5 countries, scaled regional revenue 14x (€5M to €70M), unlocked €30M+ in Saudi Arabia and kept a 100% clean audit record. I founded AcTax in Dubai to put that experience to work for you.
