Community

Outside finance, I founded The Blackfyr Guild: a Dubai brotherhood built on discipline, high performance and real connection.

The Blackfyr Guild

I started The Blackfyr Guild in Dubai in December 2025 to bring people together around three things: training, playing and opening doors for each other.

It runs on three formats: early-morning power walks, game nights, and networking meetups that put recruiters, founders, finance professionals and operators in one room.
