Scale past the messy middle.

I co-founded a $5M+ DTC brand and now help operators at $1–10M ARR in the US, GCC, and Europe scale theirs. Operator depth, AI-accelerated execution, fixed-scope sprints.

A week with the agents in your stack — data, diagnosis, and direction, in days not quarters.

About

Founder. Operator. First scaler.

I co-founded and scaled Dari Mooch — Pakistan's leading men's grooming DTC brand — past $5M in revenue, from a small online experiment to a nationwide presence across Al-Fatah, Carrefour, our own retail kiosks, and the Dari Mooch Barbershop. I stepped down as CEO to sit on Dari Mooch's board, join the boards of other consumer brands, and bring the same operator playbook to founders building the next generation of DTC brands.

I didn't learn growth from courses. I learned it by spending my own money in one of the hardest markets in the world to build in — figuring out what actually moves revenue when there's no easy demand, no cheap media, and no room for error. That's the playbook I now bring to operators at $1–10M in the US, GCC, and Europe.

Free report

See the intelligence in action. Free.

Each month I publish a short read on one DTC category: what's winning in its ads right now, pulled from live competitor activity. No fluff, no theory. Drop your email and I'll send the latest one.

No spam. One category drop, occasionally.

How I work

Operator. Agency-side. Consultant. Now AI-leveraged.

Brand-side

I've sat in the founder's chair. Co-founded and scaled a $5M+ DTC brand. I know what shipping under pressure looks like.

Agency-side

I've briefed and managed agencies across paid, CRO, retention, and ops. I know what's working and what's noise.

Consultant-side

I sit on the board of two consumer brands as an investor. I know how to advise without losing operator instinct.

AI-leveraged

I use AI to move faster and go deeper than a traditional consultant — more research, more testing, more iteration, at a fraction of the cost of an agency team.

The reframe

More tools won't fix it. More teammates will.

You don't need another agency. You need an operator who sits alongside you — AI-leveraged, so one person moves faster and deeper than a roomful of specialists.

Hero pillar

Start where I'm strongest: Intelligence.

An always-on intelligence layer that watches your competitors' ads and mines your customers' own words, then turns both into winning creative briefs. It tracks live competitor ads, classifies what format and hook each uses, and surfaces the concepts actually proven to convert. This is the system I deploy first, because knowing what already works is the cheapest growth you can buy.

Running today

An always-on system monitoring ~11 competitor brands across Pakistan, India, and global grooming, with automated weekly launch and price-change detection.

Three agents. One growth engine.

01 · Lead

Intelligence Agent

Competitor ad monitoring, customer-voice mining, and AI-search perception, turned into creative briefs.

02 · Always-on

Reporting Agent

Always-on growth analyst wired into Meta, Google, Shopify, GA4. A weekly digest of 5 to 10 ranked actions and a monthly trend memo.

03 · On demand

Diagnostic Agent

A specialist audit on demand. Six-week agency engagements delivered in 5 to 10 days, across landing pages, cohorts, SKUs, and a 50-point ad audit.

Together

Data, diagnosis, and direction. In one week, not one quarter.

The Reporting Agent flags a ROAS drop on one SKU. The Diagnostic Agent runs a cohort and SKU analysis on that product. The Intelligence Agent pulls Reddit complaints and competitor ads on the same SKU. You get the full picture, across data, diagnosis, and creative direction, in one week instead of one quarter.

Anti-positioning

What I don't do.

  • I don't run ads inside your account.
  • I don't do generic fractional-CMO or slide-deck consulting.
  • I don't ship anything I can't ground in your real numbers.

Think it might be a fit?

Tell me about your brand and the single most painful thing in your growth ops right now. I'll come back with whether it's a fit and what I'd quote.
