Summary
Currently focused on launching Paravela, a startup headquartered in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia to take advantage of the tremendous opportunities in the Kingdom and contribute to Vision 2030. Paravela is an enterprise data management company that enables the secure sharing of critical information about the state of any asset - digital or physical - across multiple parties. While broadly applicable, we are using our technology to tackle asset management challenges in the construction, real estate and infrastructure sectors in the first instance. For example, ensuring that insurance companies can access real-time information on the assets they are insuring such as construction equipment. In this scenario, everyone benefits since this eliminates fraud as well as payout disputes if there is an issue. Paravela’s goals are fully aligned with the United Nations’ 2030 Agenda for Sustainable Development as well as Saudi Vision 2030.
