Who does Dr Arbab advise?
Dr Arbab is open to advisory and consulting assignments with UN and UN Women teams, international organisations, nonprofits, governments and public institutions globally, as well as companies preparing to adopt consequential emerging technologies.

What technology areas does the advisory work cover?
The work focuses on technologies that are moving from experimentation into operating reality: Agentic AI, responsible AI, AI automation, robotics, blockchain, tokenisation, real world assets and digital financial infrastructure. The purpose is not technology for its own sake. It is adoption that is governed, useful, inclusive and connected to measurable outcomes.
Why does responsible technology adoption matter now?
AI and automation are moving faster than many organisations and societies can adapt. Decisions made now will shape accountability, access, workforce impact, economic participation and public trust. Responsible adoption means designing governance, human oversight and inclusion before systems scale, not after preventable harm or strategic drift appears.
What can an advisory engagement deliver?
Assignments are shaped around the decision, organisation and stage of adoption. Dr Arbab can contribute a commercially grounded founder and transformation perspective to executive teams seeking clarity, governance and momentum.
- Executive briefings and board level strategic dialogue
- AI and emerging technology readiness assessments
- Responsible AI governance and human oversight frameworks
- Agentic AI and automation opportunity mapping
- Blockchain, tokenisation and digital finance strategy
- Transformation roadmaps, operating models and leadership workshops
How does inclusion shape the work?
The future of technology is not only about what can be built. It is also about what should be built, who gains access and who has the power to shape it. Dr Arbab brings particular focus to women in technology, women in AI, women in blockchain and women’s inclusion in the digital economy. This includes women and girls, female founders, digital and financial literacy, access to capital and participation across the Global South, MENA, Asia and Africa.
What assignment formats are available?
Dr Arbab is open to defined consulting assignments, retained advisory relationships, expert input, executive sessions, strategic workshops, programme design, research informed contributions and selected collaborations. Organisations should share the challenge, stakeholders, intended outcome, timescale and budget through the enquiry form.
