Mahmoud Hassan connects B2B companies the moment a public trigger fires — a licensing approval, a $400M round, an FDA decision — with the specialist search partners built for exactly that window.
I track MAS, DFSA, and ADGM licensing approvals, SaaS funding rounds, FDA decisions, and IPO filings the day they publish. By the time the role goes live on LinkedIn, it’s already too late — this is how I put the right search firm in the room first.
- SINGAPOREMAS — Monetary Authority of Singapore
- →A cross-border payments firm received MAS MPI approval — team-building begins immediately post-approval, before any roles are posted anywhere
- →A global payments firm expanded its MAS MPI licence to add account issuance and e-money services — each expansion triggers a new round of specialist hiring
- UAEDFSA (DIFC) · ADGM / FSRA · VARA
- →A global investment firm relocated its MENA headquarters to Dubai and registered as a DIFC entity — building a team of 15 senior leaders on a go-live deadline before any roles are posted anywhere
- →A digital asset platform received VARA licensing in Dubai with a live 6-month compliance window — blockchain engineers, VASP compliance officers and tokenisation specialists building out before any roles are posted anywhere
- USASaaS Funding · FDA Approvals
- →A SaaS company closed a $400M round and is scaling its workforce 50% on a Q3 deadline — inside sales reps, account executives and customer success team building out before any roles are posted anywhere
- →A biotech received FDA approval for a drug with $500M+ annual US sales potential — specialty pharma sales reps, MSLs and commercial field team on a live launch deadline before any roles are posted anywhere
I monitor regulatory filings, funding announcements, FDA decisions, and IPO filings across Singapore, the UAE, and the US daily. The signal tells me who needs to hire. The match — which search firm, which mandate, which moment — is what I add.
- MAS / DFSA / ADGM-licensed FinTech · Post-round SaaS · FDA-approved Biotech → Specialist search partner A company with a live trigger — regulatory approval, a closed round, an FDA decision — and a hiring plan to execute across Singapore, the UAE, or the US. I connect them to a boutique search partner who knows that market and has placed the exact profiles they need.
- Search firm → first in the room, before roles go public By the time a mandate hits LinkedIn, twenty firms are already pitching. I track regulatory approvals, funding rounds, and FDA decisions the day they land — across Singapore, the UAE, and the US — and put the right specialist search firm in front of the client before the role is even written. No competition. No race to the bottom on fees.
Managing Directors and founders at executive search firms covering GCC financial services, DIFC-licensed practices, and digital tech talent markets confirmed capacity and fit after one unsolicited email — same day. No pitch deck. No credentials. No follow-up. Each email opened with a live regulatory event in their market, not an introduction.
