PureBrain GCC Referral Partner Profiles

Ghayath operates as a fractional CMO across telecom, FMCG, aesthetics/healthcare, education, and SaaS/tech sectors in the UAE and KSA. He runs his own venture while personally delivering fractional CMO engagements to multiple clients. He manages client strategy, content production, industry event participation, and business development across two countries.

CAP.G VENTURES offers fractional CXO services (CMO, CFO, CIO, COO) across UAE and KSA, meaning Ghayath works with and knows a network of other fractional executives. His launch was covered by Entrepreneur Middle East, Campaign Middle East, and UpperNews. He has 20+ years in the UAE market, is fluent in Arabic, English, and French, and holds certifications from London Business School and INSEAD.

Rhys runs a portfolio of 2-3 fractional COO clients simultaneously, with typical engagements of 10-25 hours weekly over 3-12 months. He built, scaled, merged, and exited a company in Singapore before moving to Dubai. He has developed his own operations system called Nexus that he deploys across client engagements.

Rhys is part of the Fractional Dubai collective, a group of fractional C-suite executives (COO, CFO, CTO, CMO, CHRO) who cross-refer and collaborate. His network spans Dubai's SME ecosystem where fractional leaders are in high demand (demand surged 20% from 2023-2024, and 72% of UAE CEOs plan to integrate fractional leadership).

Emilio runs what he describes as the world's first fully remote, distributed CFO service. He manages a small team (two financial analysts), client engagements across Dubai, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman. Since 2020, CFO Ventures has helped clients raise over USD 350M and complete 20+ exits.

CFO Ventures operates across the entire GCC (UAE, KSA, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, Oman), giving Emilio direct contact with founders, startup CEOs, and other fractional executives across the region. His Big 4 background (transaction advisory) gives him credibility with the professional class that PureBrain targets.

Stephen runs his own fractional CMO practice covering Dubai, Abu Dhabi, and the wider GCC. He claims to have driven AED 1B+ in revenue for clients. He came from senior roles at Emaar Hospitality Group and ITP before going independent. He has spent 18 years in the UAE building his practice.

Stephen has deep roots in the UAE business community after 18 years in the market. His background at Emaar (one of the largest real estate and hospitality groups in the UAE) and ITP (major media company) means he has a Rolodex that spans Dubai's corporate and entrepreneurial ecosystem.

Chareka runs a multi-faceted independent practice: fractional CMO engagements, brand strategy consulting, business coaching, and advisory work spanning funding strategy, pitch decks, branding, content, social media, packaging, distribution, Series A fundraising, and access to HNWIs and VCs. She has 30+ years of marketing experience across global corporates (Kraft Foods, Mindshare, FP7 McCann).

Chareka serves as a business coach and advisor to founders and entrepreneurs in addition to her fractional CMO work. This dual role means she has a direct pipeline to other independent professionals and startup founders who could use PureBrain. Her client base spans high-end luxury, beauty, fashion, culinary, and wellbeing sectors in the Middle East and India.

Muneer runs multiple ventures: the Oxygen Mastermind Group (14+ years operating), Next Level Entrepreneur (NLE), and his own coaching and training practice. He manages mastermind facilitation, event production, content creation, member coordination, and business development across all of these.

Oxygen Mastermind Group is one of the longest-running entrepreneur mastermind communities in Dubai (14+ years), including an elite 20M AED business circle of top-tier entrepreneurs. His members are exactly the profile PureBrain targets: successful independent operators, consultants, and entrepreneurs who bill high rates but drown in non-billable work.

Wamiq operates as an independent fractional advisor specializing in digital transformation, agile methodologies, and technology strategy. He manages client engagements, content creation (regular LinkedIn posting), and his own business development. As a solo operator handling multiple advisory engagements, he fits PureBrain's target profile.

Wamiq is an active LinkedIn content creator in the GCC tech consulting space, posting regularly about digital transformation, mentorship, career growth, and agile methodologies. He explicitly positions himself as a mentor, which means he has direct relationships with junior and mid-career consultants who are building or considering independent practices.

Leila runs Kompass Consultancy, a global talent management consultancy headquartered in Dubai with partners in the UK, Europe, Middle East, and Australasia. She simultaneously serves as Head of AoEC UAE, a coach trainer, ICF mentor coach, and a practicing executive coach. She has 25+ years of experience across public and private sectors on 5 continents.

Kompass Consultancy and AoEC UAE produce executive coaches and work with executives transitioning careers, accelerating internally, or creating their own ventures. This pipeline of professionals "creating their own ventures" maps directly to PureBrain's target: new independent consultants and fractional executives who need operational support.
