I started AnsamPartners with a simple mission: To unpack the raw stories, hard lessons, and mindsets behind building companies that matter. My passion lives at the intersection of AI, software, fintech, and startup innovation. I've worked in finance helping protect billion-dollar investments — but what excites me most are the builders most people haven’t heard of yet… the ones quietly shaping the future. This podcast is my way of sitting down with founders, investors and operators and dig into what it really takes to turn vision into traction. No fluff. No theory. Just real conversations

The 4-Layer Framework Redefining Business Strategy | Walid Zayed on Value Creation & AI

Most companies are dead—they just don't know it yet. Inthis episode, we sit down with Walid Zayed, CEO of Rubicon with 20+ years transforming Middle East businesses, explains why thinking like you did 6 months ago makes you irrelevant in 12 months.

You'll discover:

The 4-layer framework killing traditional strategy (operational alpha, liquidity, data, AI)
Why a top consulting firm's $1.1M strategy document was useless
How Microsoft fired 9,000 people while hitting record profits
Why blockchain isn't about Bitcoin—it's about instant liquidity
Tesla self-delivered a car to a customer. Your business model is next.
Real examples of agentic AI replacing entire departments
The death of financial engineering and what actually creates value now

Bottom line: Stop asking for more money, more people, more time. You need a mindset shift—think like an operator, move like an owner, build like you're selling tomorrow.

For founders, CEOs, and anyone who refuses to become obsolete.
