She is the Founder and President of Vernewell Group and the Founder and CEO of Trabelsi Loeb Legal Consultants.

She founded Vernewell Tech and Space in 2020 and grew it into Vernewell Group, shaping the MENA quantum and deep-tech landscape by linking policy, industry, and research to deliver deployments, not pilots that stall.

These initiatives move use cases from assessment to production, shorten time to implementation, and position the UAE as an active contributor to the global quantum economy. Engagements span finance, energy and utilities, logistics and maritime, healthcare and life sciences, Industry 4.0 manufacturing, space and satellite services, and telecommunications.
