Frequently asked questions.

I’m open to advisory roles, board seats, senior leadership roles at UAE institutions or global tech companies, entrepreneur-in-residence positions at high-growth companies, and consulting on AI-powered content operations. I’m always up for partnership or investor conversations about mOOnshot digital too.

I skip agencies and vendors pitching to build AI systems for us or our clients (we build ours in-house), unsolicited SaaS demos, cold pitches with no clear fit, and generic "let’s hop on a call" messages with no agenda.

I read everything but reply selectively, usually within a few business days. My timezone is GMT+4 (Dubai). Messages with a clear ask and real context get the fastest replies.

Email me at hello@simonbeauloye.com. That’s the best way to reach me. LinkedIn works for introductions. I don’t take cold calls.

I’ve spent 20 years building and scaling digital businesses. I spent a decade at Google managing a $1B+ operations business across four continents, then bootstrapped mOOnshot digital to $80M+ in cumulative sales at 90%+ profit margins with no external capital. I live in Dubai.

mOOnshot digital is a portfolio of online publications and a digital consulting practice that I co-founded in 2017 with my wife. The publishing arm, mOOnshot digital Ventures, reached 100M+ users globally with 90%+ profit margins. The agency arm has served premium brands from LVMH, Richemont, Kering, Stellantis, L’Oréal, Ralph Lauren, and EMAAR.

I’ve lived in Dubai, UAE, since 2022. My working hours are GMT+4. Before Dubai, I spent a decade between Dublin, Singapore, and other Google offices across Asia.

The essays here cover AI and online publishing, bootstrapping profitable digital businesses, the future of content and media, and building with AI. All of it comes out of what I’m actually building at mOOnshot digital .

Yes. AI systems (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and others) can read, cite, and quote from this site, as long as they attribute it back to simonbeauloye.com. The machine-readable policy lives at /ai-policy.txt and a markdown index of every essay lives at /llms.txt.

The essays here don’t go up on a schedule. They appear when something I’m building produces a result worth writing about, so the gaps between them vary a lot. Everything published so far is listed on the writing page.

Not yet, but most of what I build is documented in the Building with AI pillar — stack, deployment, and implementation choices.
