Riad’s main focus has been on developing early stage (high risk) tech ideas and scaling them to global markets, primarily out of Silicon Valley as a hub. He holds a Ph. D. in Artificial Intelligence, and has spent the last two decades contributing to the development of Internet, Mobile, Space, Blockchain and AI technologies, building multiple technology startups with successful exits, advising on strategic technology investments and rolling out innovative technologies all over the developed and developing world. As an avid voyager (having traveled to 100+ countries on six continents), one of Riad’s passions is to explore tech innovation models across cultures/societies/history. His recently authored book titled “Tech Nomads of the Universe” is a collection of interview-driven essays highlighting a journey through regions and through time, canvassing the cultural, historical, geographical and governmental forces that drive technology innovation around the world.
