About
Kawthar Bin Sulayem
I’ve spent 20+ years in the rooms where real decisions get made: boardrooms, governments, and the startups I’ve built and backed myself. A proud serial entrepreneur, host, patron, and investor across sectors, my experience is built around entrepreneurship, economic growth, geopolitics, arts and culture, tech and AI, and health, education, and wellbeing.
Today, I am the Founder and CEO of District1795, Wain Nbda Network, KBS Strategies, and The Intelligence Practice. I’ve never believed in choosing between a strong business and a sharp mind, or in separating judgment from execution. Everything I’ve built comes from that same standard, and now I bring it directly to the people and institutions who need it most.
Most people treat their business, their health, and their family as separate problems, each with its own specialist. I don’t.
I work with individuals and leaders who think the same way I do: as one integrated decision, not five disconnected ones. Delivered through The Private Call, The Builders Sprint, and The Founder’s Blueprint, virtual or in-person, every engagement is personally delivered by me.
For the public stage
I show up where the conversation matters, because if it’s worth discussing, I’m worth having in the room.
Available for speaking, moderation and brand collaboration opportunities across any of the ventures.
