Senior operators and domain specialists who embed within our laboratory on a rotating basis. Not consultants. Not employees. Strategic contributors who amplify our execution capability during critical engagements.
Our Experts in Residence join for defined engagement periods — typically 3 to 12 months — bringing deep domain knowledge to specific client mandates or internal venture development. The model preserves independence while creating concentrated strategic value.
Contribute specialized knowledge to client engagements where domain expertise is the difference between good and decisive.
Inform the strategic direction of internally originated ventures during their formative validation phases.
Elevate the team's collective capability through structured knowledge sharing and collaborative problem-solving.
Develop strategic relationships with our institutional client base — relationships that often outlast the residency itself.
We actively seek Experts in the following domains. If your expertise sits at the intersection of multiple areas, we are especially interested.
Practitioners who have deployed production ML systems at scale. Not researchers — builders who understand the operational realities.
Deep experience in payments infrastructure, regulatory technology, or institutional trading systems across Gulf and global markets.
Expertise in identity systems, zero-knowledge architectures, and privacy-preserving computation for sensitive environments.
Operators who have built or scaled learning platforms, institutional education systems, or workforce development technology.
Experience designing and operating gated digital environments, membership platforms, or premium technology systems.
Professionals who have built and operated organizations spanning Gulf and Western markets with deep cultural fluency on both sides.
The EIR arrangement is designed to be attractive to senior operators who value independence but want access to meaningful engagements and institutional infrastructure.
Defined engagement periods with clear expectations on both sides.
Part-time or full-time embedding, depending on the engagement mandate.
Monthly retainer with engagement-based performance incentives and venture participation.
You retain your advisory practice, board seats, or other commitments. We structure around your reality.
Send us a brief overview of your background and the domain where you contribute most effectively. We respond to every inquiry personally. If there is a current or upcoming engagement where your expertise aligns, we will arrange a conversation.
