Certificate of Origin pre-check
627,908 certificates in nine months of 2025
Pilot first. High volume, rule-based completeness checks, a measurable queue, and the officer keeps sign-off on every certificate.
Your first agentic AI pilot is a choice. Here is how I would call it in week one.
On 5 June 2026 Dubai Chambers formed the Executive Committee for Agentic AI, weeks after Dubai set a two-year course to bring 295,000 companies into agentic AI. Your ad asks for the same thing in quieter words: identify and prioritize use cases, run pilots, monitor adoption. So instead of claiming I can do that, here is the first pilot decision, worked on three services you already run at scale.
Worked example. Service volumes are Dubai Chambers' published figures; pilot targets are illustrative.
New-member onboarding assistant
53,000+ new member companies in nine months of 2025
Redesign first. The answers members need live in scattered content today; an assistant on top of that automates confusion. Fix the source, then pilot.
Mediation case support
146 cases in H1 2025, AED 230M+ at stake
Not now. Low volume, high stakes, legal judgment. AI drafts case summaries at most; people decide.
The mediation ruling matters most. An AI program that can say no to a tempting use case is one the organization can trust.
- The pilot
- An assistant that reads each Certificate of Origin application for completeness before an officer confirms it. It assists the officer. It never issues.
- Measured against
- First-pass completeness rate and turnaround per certificate, baselined in week one. Illustrative target, set without inside knowledge and rebaselined in week two: a third fewer incomplete first submissions by day 60.
- Governance
- Officer sign-off stays on every certificate, and member data stays inside the Chamber's environment. Both written into the charter before anything is built.
The day-60 adoption gate
Officers use the pre-check by choice, not by instruction. That is the only adoption signal worth reporting. The pilot scales toward member-facing pre-checks, and the next two pilots start with a written playbook instead of a blank page.
To the Executive Committee for Agentic AI: the first assistant is adopted, here is the measured before and after, and the second pilot is chartered.
I designed and built this application myself, from the research to this working page, with the same AI toolchain I would bring to Dubai Chambers.
Why I fit this role
01
This is my current job
You need the roadmap turned into prioritized, delivered use cases.
Receipt: at Swiss Post I lead AI business models as AI Project Lead: use-case sizing into a prioritised roadmap with KPIs, build-versus-buy calls, delivery from concept to launch.
02
I build agentic AI myself
You will sit between vendors, consultants and internal teams, and vendors talk fastest to people who cannot check their claims.
Receipt: Pedal Peak, my own live cycling platform, built end to end with AI tooling. I can read a vendor demo from the inside.
03
Adoption runs through people
Workshops, awareness sessions and change management are half the ad.
Receipt: at Die Mobiliar I coached cross-functional teams through market experiments; at Brixel I was the bridge between senior stakeholders at UBS and Baloise and the delivery team.
04
The honest read
Your minimum qualification names a technical Bachelor's degree. Mine is a BBA in Business Administration, with CAS Innovation and CAS Digital Marketing on top, and no PMP.
What I bring instead: ten years of shipped delivery, and AI depth earned by building, not certified. Your own preferred Master's list includes Business Administration, so I read the spirit of the requirement as: understand the technology well enough to lead it. I do.
