Mohamed Elsherif is an AI and SaaS mentor with over 15 years of experience working at the intersection of technology, marketing, and media intelligence. He helps founders, product leaders, organizations, and governments understand and apply AI and SaaS with clarity, so they can build better solutions and make decisions with confidence.
Mohamed’s work focuses on transforming how teams think about data: moving them from intuition-driven decisions to data-oriented and ultimately data-enabled organizations. He specializes in Arabic-first and MENA markets, where global, imported AI models often fail to capture real consumer behavior, language nuances, and cultural context.
Throughout his career, Mohamed has worked closely with industry leaders, founders, CMOs, and CEOs to review, build, and challenge the design, communication, marketing, and operationalization of SaaS and AI solutions in real business environments.
Over the past three years, Mohamed served as Senior Manager at Crowd Analyzer, an AI Media Intelligence SaaS company. He focuses on building systems that reduce waste and improve profitability. He played a key role in reviving the company after its 2021 closure, launching three SaaS products, reopening offices in Dubai, Cairo, and Riyadh, and scaling the organization from two people to over 100 professionals across multiple markets.
