Simon Ardonceau

Founder and Chief Executive Officer

An entrepreneur based in Dubai, founder and chief executive of AIRE. Before founding it he worked at Nakheel as director of joint ventures and hospitality. AIRE runs an AI-powered platform that simplifies and accelerates real estate feasibility studies, helping developers, investors and property teams make faster, data-driven decisions. Its software combines big data, artificial intelligence and automation to deliver comprehensive feasibility studies across all major asset classes in five days, where traditional feasibility and highest-and-best-use studies take four to six weeks and delay critical investment decisions. The company has rolled out its software in Nairobi, Morocco and Mauritius, with expansion under way in Senegal, Ivory Coast and then the Middle East, and has offices in Dubai, Casablanca and Nairobi.
