Break the Bottleneck | SME Leaders & Founders
About This Event
We're not consultants. Consultants hand you a 47-page deck and ghost you. We're the people who've actually done the thing - rebuilt tech teams after funding rounds, stabilised companies before they imploded, turned marketing budgets into measurable revenue.
On November 25th, five fractional leaders who've collectively scaled businesses across three continents are going to spend an afternoon diagnosing exactly where UAE SMEs get stuck. Not theoretically stuck. Actually stuck - the spot where your cash runs out before your ideas do, where your best people quit because there's no structure, where your marketing spend evaporates into the void.
Here's what we've actually done:
- The CTO who rebuilt an entire tech stack after a $10M funding round—and made it scale without breaking
- The COO who stabilised companies that were about to collapse under their own growth momentum
- The CMO who turned "we're spending money but nothing's happening" into ROI you could actually measure
- The CFO who implemented forecasting systems that replaced panic with clarity
- The CHRO who transformed hiring from a compliance nightmare into a competitive advantage
This isn't a lecture series. Each session includes an interactive diagnostic exercise designed to reveal exactly where your specific business is constrained. You'll walk away with frameworks you can use Tuesday morning - not theory ripped from Fortune 500 playbooks that don't work for growing businesses.
This event is deliberately small. We're optimising for depth, not scale.
Requests are reviewed to ensure the right mix in the room—because the value isn't just in the diagnostic exercises, it's in the conversations during the private networking session afterwards (5:30-7:30 PM). You're not going to be in a room with 200 people collecting business cards. You're going to be in a room with top founders and CEOs who are stuck in the same ways you are, and five fractional leaders who've unstuck dozens of businesses just like yours.
If you're looking for generic networking and motivational quotes, this isn't it. If you want to identify the exact constraint that's keeping your business from its next stage of growth - and meet the people who can help you fix it - request access.
What to expect:
- Five fractional leaders, five critical business functions
- Interactive diagnostic exercises per session
- Real frameworks, not generic advice
- Specific to the UAE SME challenges
- Limited, vetted seats to ensure the right mix in the room
- Private post-event networking (5:30 pm to 7:30 pm)
Who should attend:
- Business owners wearing too many hats
- Founders who've hit a growth wall
- CEOs who know something's wrong but can't pinpoint what
If you're the kind of founder who already knows all the answers, this event isn't for you. If you're honest enough to admit you don't know which bottleneck is killing your growth - and brave enough to find out - request access.
Limited seats. Vetted attendees. Real frameworks, not motivational posters.
