About Bachir

I founded and built IntelWork4ce.com, a live AI platform deploying 17 specialized agents for SMEs and founders. That is my proof of work.
Before that, 10 years operating across finance, fintech, and corporate strategy in the Middle East & East Africa, structuring infrastructure deals, launching mobile wallets, managing corporate banking portfolios, and building RegTech products from scratch.
What that means for you: I understand how businesses actually work across their full value chain. I can identify where AI creates real leverage, design the right solution, and oversee implementation without losing sight of the business outcome.
I work with SMEs and growth-stage companies on three types of engagements:
AI Readiness Audits — mapping your operations and delivering a prioritized AI roadmap
AI Ops Sprints — designing and deploying a focused AI workflow in two weeks
Fractional AI Practice — embedded AI leadership on a monthly retainer
If you need someone who has built the tools, run the operations, and closed the deals — not just studied them — that is what I bring.
