“I think any project in B.I. that is owned and run by the business has about a 90-100 percent chance of success.”

“In this digital age everything’s gotta be mobile. If you’re not mobile first, people don’t want to use it.”

“I didn’t know that Dubai was one of the largest hubs for humanitarian aid until I got into the project. And I’ve been living in Dubai the past fifteen years.”

“We almost underestimate our potential customers or the users of B.I. I think they’re very open to being flexible, as long as there is a solution that allows them to play with things and be able to get things.”

“I don’t think users are gonna take over our jobs. And I don’t think technology is going to eradicate us either.”
