Muhammad Asad Tanwir is a Netherlands-based technical project manager and software architect with more than a decade building and shipping enterprise software. He moves fluently between the whiteboard and the codebase: ecosystem architecture, cloud transformation, DevOps and pre-sales on one side, hands-on Angular, .NET, C#, Azure and SQL on the other. After roughly six years at Wiseman Innovations he has been working on AI-driven projects, including a recent stretch in Riyadh tied to Saudi technology firm Azm Development, where a colleague publicly called him the company's biggest gem.
Asher Siddiqui is a General Partner at Sukna Ventures, a Riyadh-based early-stage venture fund backing software and data-infrastructure startups across MENA. He spent a decade running global M&A and corporate venture at Etisalat (around $15bn in deals), then joined 500 Startups as a partner and investment committee member before settling into the GP role at Sukna. He advises a constellation of funds from Palo Alto to Pakistan and splits time between the San Francisco Bay Area, Dubai, and Riyadh.
