IOVA_
Advisory — MENA & GCC

IOVA is a UAE-registered consulting firm. After eight-plus years of strategy work, the practice now focuses on AI: looking at how you spend your working week, whether you run a business or just have too much on your plate, finding where AI genuinely saves time, then teaching you the tools or building the setup for you.

What we do

Two ways of working. Both start with your actual work, not a demo.

Option A

Workshops

For individuals or teams that want the capability in-house. We look at how you work, then teach you (and your team, if you have one) to use AI tools on your own tasks — your inbox, your writing, your reports. You leave able to do it without us.

Option B

Done-for-you setup

For people who would rather not learn the tools themselves. We build the AI-enabled workflow for you: set up, tested on your real work, documented, and handed over so it keeps running.

Where AI actually helps

Repetitive, text-heavy, frequent work — and the systems around it.

Where it doesn't help much: high-judgment work like closing deals or managing people. If that turns out to be the real problem, we'll say so on the call rather than sell you something that won't fix it.
How it works

Three steps. The first one is free.

01

Discovery call — free, 30 minutes

We walk through how your business runs and where the time actually goes. That's the whole agenda.

02

Proposal

A short email after the call with two options and clear prices: a workshop, or a done-for-you setup. If we don't think AI will help much in your case, the email says that instead.

03

Delivery

The workshop or the build. Everything is documented so it keeps working after the engagement ends.

About

Run by someone who uses these tools daily.

IOVA is run by Zaid Daoud: eight-plus years in strategy consulting, founder of two tech startups, and a heavy daily AI user. The advice comes from applying these tools to real work every day, not from reading about them.

Based between Dubai and Amman, working with individuals and businesses across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and Jordan.

Contact

Start with the call.

Thirty minutes about your business. If there's something worth doing, you'll get a short proposal by email. If not, you'll know that too.
