I had the great pleasure of interviewing Ali Samir Oosman, who is currently leading Strategic Partnerships and Deal Flow at Microsoft for Startups, based in Dubai.
Ali is originally from Karachi, Pakistan and has spent many years working within the startup ecosystem both in Pakistan and across the wider region. He has worked in both developed and emerging markets as an investor, advisor, and executive in areas like social development, digital mapping, insurance, venture capital and media.
Having lived and worked in both the East and West, Ali has great perspective that you’ll see in this interview!
