Long, about 120 words

Asif Aftab spent 20 years inside banks assessing how businesses manage money, risk and compliance, at Citibank, Standard Chartered, ABN AMRO, United Bank and MCB Bank. Every credit decision he made started with one question: can this business prove what is happening inside it? For the last five years he has asked the same question of real estate operations, and designed the systems that answer it. He works with property management firms, community and owners association managers, FM companies and developers in the UAE to replace spreadsheets, fragmented tools and manual reconciliations with connected operations that leave a clear audit trail. He is the founder of Inovada, a Dubai-based firm that designs and implements operational systems for real estate businesses.
