Dr Usman Zafar – Biography.

With over two decades of experience leading global business expansion and investment strategy across the Middle East, Asia Pacific, and Africa, I specialize in transforming ambitious visions into sustainable, high-impact results.

As CEO and Board Advisor, I have empowered 100+ tech projects, facilitated multi-million-dollar investments, and guided companies to thrive in Smart Cities, Public-Private Partnerships (PPP), and Build-Operate-Transfer (BOT) projects. My unique approach eliminates the need for large sales and marketing teams, enabling efficient market entry and accelerated growth. I have also served as a senior Board Advisor for several companies around the world for their market expansion, strategic alliances and securing multi-million dollars investments.

My expertise includes:
- Smart cities strategy and implementation
- C-level advisory and market acceleration
- Strategic partnerships and fundraising
- Digital transformation for public and private sectors

Recognized as a Top 51 Global Influential Smart Cities Leader (2019), I also shape future innovators through university advisory roles and public sector leadership, including as former CIO in the UAE.

Let’s connect if you’re seeking to expand, innovate, or invest in opportunities across MENA, APAC, or Africa—or to collaborate on building the cities of tomorrow.
