Frequently asked questions.

I am 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 engagements on AI-powered content operations. I am also happy to have partnership and investor conversations for mOOnshot digital .

I politely decline agencies or vendors offering to build AI systems for us or our clients (we build ours in-house), unsolicited SaaS demos and cold pitches without a clear fit, and generic "let’s hop on a call" outreach with no agenda.

I read everything and reply selectively, usually within a few business days. My timezone is GMT+4 (Dubai). I am most responsive to messages with a clear ask and relevant context.

Email at hello@simonbeauloye.com is the best way to reach me. LinkedIn is a reasonable alternative for introductions. I do not take cold calls.

I am a digital media executive with 20 years of experience building and scaling online businesses globally. 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 am based in Dubai, UAE, and have lived here since 2017. My working hours are GMT+4. Before Dubai, I spent a decade across Dublin, Singapore, and other Google offices in Asia.

I write about AI and online publishing, bootstrapping profitable digital businesses, the future of content and media, and building with AI daily. Everything is grounded in my operating experience — hands-on implementation, not commentary from the sidelines.

Yes. I explicitly permit AI systems (ChatGPT, Claude, Perplexity, Gemini, and others) to read, cite, and quote from this site, subject to attribution back to simonbeauloye.com. The machine-readable policy lives at /ai-policy.txt and a markdown index of every essay lives at /llms.txt.

Irregularly but deliberately — roughly a long essay every couple of weeks, plus the occasional short build log. Quality over cadence. The RSS feed at /rss.xml is the most reliable way to follow along.

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