Christophe Zoghbi
Founder & CEO, ZAKA. Christophe Zoghbi is an AI entrepreneur, strategist, and ecosystem builder focused on turning artificial intelligence into practical, scalable impact. He is the Founder and CEO of ZAKA, an AI transformation company helping organizations build the strategy, capabilities, workflows, and solutions required to adopt AI successfully. Through ZAKA, Christophe has contributed to the growth of AI talent and adoption across the MENA region and beyond. The company has built a community spanning more than 18 countries and works with corporations, governments, universities, schools, and professionals through AI advisory, capability building, workflow automation, and custom AI solutions. Its work covers sectors including education, healthcare, legal services, marketing, media, finance, and the public sector. Christophe is also the Chief AI Officer of The Middle Frame, a MENA-focused visual content platform developing culturally relevant AI capabilities, and a partner at LogiX, an AI and data consultancy. Across these roles, he works at the intersection of business strategy, technology, talent, and regional ecosystem development. His perspective on AI is grounded in a simple belief: meaningful transformation requires more than access to technology. Organizations must align leadership, people, processes, data, and implementation around clear business outcomes. His work therefore focuses on helping leaders move beyond experimentation toward responsible adoption and measurable value. As a speaker, educator, and advisor, Christophe shares practical insights on AI transformation, agentic systems, the future of work, AI education, entrepreneurship, and the development of the MENA AI ecosystem. His mission is to make AI accessible and useful while helping the region build the talent and institutions needed to shape its own AI future.
