The Gap Between AI Adoption and AI Revenue Is Where I Work

84% of GCC companies have adopted AI. Only 31% have scaled beyond pilots. That gap is costing millions. I close it.

I'm Shabahat Bokhari — I help enterprise leaders stop piloting and start profiting from AI.

Why Leaders Trust Me

29+ years on the frontlines: Multi-million $ largest Cisco deal in Pakistan, $200M+ partner ecosystems across GCC, $25M+ pipeline at IBM, quadrupled Fortinet's regional revenue in 2 years, and defined the cloud strategy behind $500M in UAE healthcare projects. This isn't theory — it's decades of closing deals and driving transformation at CXO level.

What I Do For You

I partner with CEOs and business leaders to turn AI into measurable advantage:

Diagnose your readiness across Strategy, Execution, People & Technology using the AI Sweet Spot Framework™

Build the business case with real value-impact numbers your board will approve

Implement systematically through the DDDEEE Framework™ — from first automation to full-scale rollout

Upskill your teams in hands-on workshops where they build working AI agents the same day

My Philosophy: Amplified Intelligence

I don't replace your workforce with AI — I amplify it. Human intuition meets AI processing power. Scale output, not headcount.

Industries & Markets: Finance, Healthcare, Telecom, Public Sector, SaaS — across GCC, Pakistan, Canada & Southeast Asia.

Whether it's a one-day workshop, Fractional Chief AI Officer engagement, or full AI roadmap — I bring one discipline: understand the business, build the case, execute relentlessly.

Ready to move from AI curiosity to AI revenue? Let's talk.
