Surviving war. Outsmarting big tech. Reinventing health tech. In this episode of Beyond the Boardroom, Aleksandra sits down with Mohammed Al-Ubaidi, a doctor-turned-founder who grew up in war-torn Yemen and went on to build a pioneering digital health record platform that challenges billion-dollar tech giants.

From dodging bombs as a child to studying medicine and computer science, Mohammed shares how he learned to think clearly in chaos, protect patient data from corporate interests, and use technology to give people control over their own health. This is a conversation about courage, code, and calling — and what it really takes to stand your ground when you’re the smallest player in the room.

This is not media training and it’s not PR. It’s Aleksandra doing what other interviewers won’t: asking direct questions about war, power, money, and integrity — and refusing to look away when the answers get uncomfortable.

🔗 Highlights:

• From war zone to boardroom: how surviving conflict shaped Mohammed’s risk tolerance, empathy and leadership style.
• Turning trauma into resilience: the mindset shifts that stop chaos defining you — and start it strengthening you.
• Medicine + computing: why combining clinical training with code became his survival guide for broken systems.
• Outsmarting big tech: how a smaller, values-driven team can win against global corporations without selling out.
• Health tech with a spine: why integrity, family and education are the anchors behind every major decision.
