My Story

At 18, I Came to Dubai — And Built a Retail Career Across the Gulf

I arrived in Dubai at the age of 18 and joined Sana Fashions as one of the company's first employees. Over the next 30 years, I grew with the brand from a single store to 35 retail chain locations across 5 GCC countries — rising to Vice President of Operations.

I've built and operated businesses across Retail, Franchise, Trade, Wholesale, Shipping, and Services in the UAE, Oman, KSA, Bahrain, Qatar, and Bangladesh.

"Implement in Hours. Not Days. In sha Allah."

Today, I combine 37+ years of real-world business expertise with AI automation to help SMEs get set up, scale smartly, and operate without the bloat.

“Before hiring a consultant, an SME should have a clear understanding of what they hope to achieve. Whether it’s improving operational efficiency, increasing sales, or navigating a specific business challenge, clearly defined goals ensure that both the SME and the consultant are aligned from the outset. Without clear objectives, there is a risk of scope creep — where the consultant’s work expands beyond the original remit, leading to higher costs and potentially diluted results.”

Stackbirds.xyz — The World’s First Self-Trained AI Agent

“Show the bird once. It handles the rest.” — AI agents that learn by watching you work, then run your business workflows autonomously. No coding. No prompts. No IT team.

Target Launch • Q1 2027 • UAE • KSA • Oman • Bahrain • Qatar

Why Aziz + Stackbirds in the Gulf

Most AI platforms are built in Silicon Valley for tech-savvy startups. Gulf SMEs need something different — an AI that understands Arabic-English billing, GCC trade customs, retail floor operations, and the real daily grind of running a business in Dubai, Muscat, or Riyadh.

Aziz brings 37+ years of on-the-ground Gulf expertise — from setting up trade licences and managing 60+ retail stores to negotiating franchise deals across 5 countries. Stackbirds combines this deep local knowledge with AI automation to give every SME owner a tireless digital team member.

  • Built for Arabic-English bilingual business environments
  • Pre-trained on GCC compliance — VAT, WPS payroll, MOHRE, municipality rules
  • Retail-first design — inventory, POS reconciliation, supplier follow-ups
  • Works with tools SMEs already use — QuickBooks, Zoho, Tally, WhatsApp, Excel
  • On-ground onboarding & support from Aziz’s team across the Gulf

What Stackbirds Automates

Role-based AI agents that handle the tasks eating up your team’s time. Each agent learns from YOUR business — not generic templates.

  • Accountant Agent — Invoice matching, bank reconciliation, VAT filing prep, monthly P&L generation
  • Sales Agent — Lead capture from WhatsApp/email, auto-follow-ups, CRM updates, quotation drafts
  • Inventory Agent — Stock level alerts, reorder triggers, supplier PO generation, dead stock flagging
  • HR Agent — Leave tracking, visa renewal reminders, contract generation, WPS payroll prep
  • Marketing Agent — Social media scheduling, campaign performance reports, competitor monitoring
  • Retail Ops Agent — Daily store checklists, KPI dashboards, mystery shopper analysis, staff scheduling

  • Trading & wholesale companies with complex supplier POs, LC documents & logistics
  • Professional services firms handling client onboarding, invoicing & compliance paperwork
  • Franchise operators managing multi-brand, multi-location reporting & standardisation

Aziz’s Launch Roadmap

  • Q4 2026 — Expand beta to Oman & Bahrain. Onboard retail & F&B pilot clients
  • Q1 2027 — Official launch across UAE. In sha Allah. Subscription model live
