She’s the founder of Spade Ventures, an angel syndicate deploying $500K–$2M into early-stage startups across MENAP, and the host of Conversations with Loulou — a top-ranked business podcast with over 500,000 followers and some of the sharpest conversations in the region.

Previously, she founded Nabbesh.com, MENA’s first and largest freelance marketplace, and started her career in financial services and real estate with DaimlerChrysler and Dubai Properties.
