Zayne Nair
Digital Product Strategist | AI & SaaS Builder
I help businesses build smart, scalable digital platforms using AI, automation, and product strategy. From real estate to CRM, I craft elegant solutions for complex problems.
About Me
I'm Zayne Nair, a digital product strategist and AI innovator based in Dubai. With over 13 years of experience, I've led cross-functional teams to build user-centric platforms across real estate, fintech, government, and education. My approach blends creative problem solving with technical depth, helping businesses deliver meaningful outcomes through modern technology.
I thrive in complex systems and fast-paced environments. Whether it's launching a SaaS product, leading agile delivery, or integrating AI into business workflows, I bring clarity to chaos and deliver with precision.
Core Values
Cut Through the Noise
Complexity is the enemy of execution. I reduce systems, strategies, and solutions down to what actually matters, then build from there.
Build Fast. Fix Smart.
I believe in velocity with intent, shipping quickly to learn, but always with guardrails, feedback loops, and the ability to course-correct.
Keep the System Healthy
Products don't exist in isolation. I think in systems, people, process, platform, and optimize for long-term adaptability, not short-term hacks.
No Value Without Users
Real impact is measured in user outcomes. Every decision, technical or strategic, must trace back to someone getting something done better.
My Journey
I grew up in Cape Town, where sport, strategy, and community shaped my outlook. Now in Dubai, I channel that same energy into building platforms that scale. Whether on the golf course or in the boardroom, I'm driven by resilience, creativity, and a relentless focus on impact.
Looking Ahead
I'm exploring how technologies like AI, LLMs, ML, and IoT can redefine how we build and scale products. My goal is to keep translating emerging tech into practical solutions that deliver real business value.
