Ahmed Gatnash
RSS FeedI'm co-founder and Executive Director of Kawaakibi Foundation, a human rights organisation working on creative initiatives that make a meaningful long-term difference to the global struggle for human rights and dignity. I also built Silkworm, an AI legal tool for UK criminal barristers.
Before that I was a mechanical engineer, doing product design/development in both startups and FTSE500 companies. My career has taken me from mechanical engineering and deep-tech startups to civil society and emerging technologies, but the common thread has been building systems that solve difficult problems.
My book, The Middle East Crisis Factory, is a primer on our region's past and how the vicious cycle of terrorism, tyranny and foreign intervention was born, as well as how we can build a better future.
