  • Jean-Paul Sacy, Wand AI: making AI agents as accountable as humans

    A RealTimes PeerView: Jean-Paul Sacy, Global Head of Partnerships at Wand AI, in conversation with Alexander Morari, MRICS, CEO of Shelton Reed, at the IPS Congress 2026 in Dubai. Sacy explains why Wand AI is moving organizations from using AI as a tool to deploying agents that are as accountable and traceable as a human workforce, and why he expects nations, not only enterprises, to eventually need to register and control AI agents the same way.

  • Marwan Houri, AE7: your client's success is their client's success

    A RealTimes PeerView: Marwan Houri, Vice President, Business Development & Strategy at AE7, in conversation with Alexander Morari, MRICS, CEO of Shelton Reed, at the IPS Congress 2026 in Dubai. AE7 is a multi-disciplinary architecture, planning and engineering design firm with offices in North America, the Middle East and Europe. Houri explains why AE7's projects, from Mohammed Bin Rashid City to the Azizi Tower, which he describes as the world's second-tallest tower at 725 metres and 131 floors, keep the same clients returning, and why he treats the end user, not only the developer, as the firm's ultimate client.

  • Amit Puri, BCD Global: Dubai's market sits under 2 million dirhams

    A RealTimes PeerView: Amit Puri, CEO of BCD Global, in conversation with Alexander Morari, MRICS, CEO of Shelton Reed, at the IPS Congress 2026 in Dubai. BCD, short for Bhandari Construction and Development, was founded in India in 1952 and spent seven decades as a contractor, delivering roughly 160 million square feet across seven markets, before it began developing on its own account. Puri explains why the company builds for end users in the sub two million dirham band, where he says 62 percent of last year's Dubai sales landed, and why it grows without external debt. Carpe Diem, the principle he carries as a tattoo, is engraved into his modus operandi, and it shows in how BCD Global moves. TheBCDGlobal.com
