Affinity Advisors is a corporate advisory firm headquartered in Muscat, Oman, operating under the umbrella of Modern Future Promoter LLC. We were founded on a simple conviction: that the gap between strategy and execution is where most businesses lose their edge.
Our work sits at the intersection of operations, people development, and customer experience — spanning retail, hospitality, healthcare, corporate operations, financial services, and beyond. If your business depends on people delivering a consistent, high-quality experience, we can help you raise the bar.
We don't deliver theory from a boardroom. We work alongside your teams — on the shop floor, behind the front desk, in the clinic, or across the back office — because that's where standards are built and sustained.
Yousif Al-Tamimy is a seasoned business leader whose career spans global retail, healthcare, and education. As a Director at Costco Optical Europe — a division of the world's third-largest retailer — he gained first-hand experience of operational excellence at a global scale, from supply chain discipline and customer experience to the rigorous standards that define world-class retail.
An entrepreneur at heart, Yousif acquired two underperforming eye clinics in London, restructured their operations, returned them to profitability, and ultimately sold both as successful going concerns. That turnaround experience sharpened his instinct for diagnosing what's broken inside a business and fixing it — fast.
Today, alongside Affinity Advisors, Yousif serves as CEO of RoboThink Oman — the Omani arm of the globally renowned STEM education franchise operating across 30+ countries. Under his leadership, RoboThink Oman delivers robotics, engineering, and coding programmes that prepare the next generation for a technology-driven future.
It is this breadth of experience — from the world's largest retailers to turning around his own ventures — that underpins the practical, results-driven advisory Affinity Advisors is known for.
Alireza Bahmanpour is a brand and marketing leader with over a decade of experience building startups from the inside, across fintech, B2B SaaS, AI, and consumer brands. He has led marketing at senior level inside venture-backed companies in London and the GCC, working alongside founders to shape brand, narrative, and the commercial engines that turn audiences into customers.
His career has been spent in the trenches of early and growth-stage businesses — launching fintechs into crowded markets, scaling consumer brands from zero to multi-million-pound revenue, and repositioning B2B platforms across global markets. That operator experience taught him a clear conviction: marketing is not a stream of content sitting on top of a business, it is a system.
Positioning, audience, story, channels, lifecycle, and conversion working together as one engine. Today, alongside Affinity Advisors, Alireza runs Aklium, an AI-led marketing and strategy consultancy based in Oman. His work is built on a simple belief: that AI is not a productivity tool bolted onto old marketing playbooks, it is a new operating layer for how brands are built, how strategy is shaped, and how growth is run. Alireza partners with ambitious GCC businesses, from regional founders to established brands, helping them adopt AI in a considered, strategic way that compounds rather than chases trends.
It is this combination of founder instinct, senior marketing experience, and AI-native thinking that allows Alireza to do something rare in the region — build the brand and build the engine at the same time, on the infrastructure that will define the next decade.
Our training isn't confined to a classroom. We work directly with your teams in their environment — refining technique, building confidence, and embedding the habits that drive consistent, high-quality customer interactions.
