Shahid Edakan

As an Operations & Business Development Leader at a leading healthcare fund in Dubai, I drive high-impact projects end-to-end—combining strategic planning, operational precision, and financial discipline to deliver maximum results with minimal resources.

I specialize in healthcare acquisitions, mergers, and the setup of advanced medical facilities, including stem cell, longevity, and multi-specialty clinics. With hands-on experience in pharmaceutical trade, project execution, and regulatory navigation, I streamline complex licensing and compliance processes across both the UAE and KSA.

In parallel, as Franchise Lead – Ghent Gladiators (EUT20 Belgium), I am building and leading a consortium-driven franchise model—driving investor alignment, structuring partnerships, and establishing a scalable commercial and operational foundation for a high-growth sports asset.
