Sandra Helou — Emerging Tech & AI Commercialisation Strategist

14+ years translating frontier technology into commercial reality for GCC, MENA & APAC markets. Sandra works with SMEs, government entities and supports founders on positioning, scaling, product-market fit and community building.

Sandra Helou is a Dubai-based Emerging Tech & AI Commercialisation Strategist. She advises boards, public sector bodies and founders on AI adoption, agentic AI, Web3 infrastructure, blockchain and decentralised architecture, sovereign data rails, real-world asset tokenisation, consumer behaviour and new market expansion. Applying AI to an already chaotic system makes it more chaotic, so every engagement starts by auditing the current setup before intelligence is layered on top. She is Co-founder & COO of Clique, an AI-powered community platform registered at the DIFC Innovation Hub in Dubai, and an expert advisor bookable on Hubble at https://app.hubble.social/sandrahelou.
