About Imran
I am Imran Anwar, a fractional Chief AI Officer and the founder of Alt Labs, GABI AI and Flok. I speak on AI, innovation and venture building at events across the UK, Saudi Arabia, the UAE and the wider GCC.
I talk about what I have built and what I have seen work, not what I have read. Tell me who is in the room and I will shape the talk around them.
What I speak about
- What AI changes for margin, risk and growth. Less hype, more margin.
- From pilot to profit. How to take AI from a pilot to a number on the P&L.
- AI governance a board can say yes to. Clear rules, so the risk is managed, not banned.
- Innovation and venture building. Lessons from three companies and 600+ projects.
Who books me
Event organisers who want a practical AI keynote, and boards and leadership teams who want an honest outside view. If you want a working session with your leadership team, see the Boardroom AI Briefing.
