I am Amarí Lewis-Simpson, a self-made entrepreneur, international investor, and award-winning speaker based in the United Arab Emirates. I founded Lewis-Simpson Real Estate and Lewis-Simpson Partners Capital Group, a private network of high-net-worth investors—including professional athletes and elite performers—focused on capital deployment across emerging markets. My story is rooted in turning a lack of traditional access into a disciplined advantage. I couldn’t read or write until age 11 and had no formal finance degree or institutional backing—yet I became a trusted voice for family offices, governments, and HNW investors through real-world capital raising, emerging markets investing, and keynote-level teaching on VC and PE strategy.

I have spent nearly three decades across financial markets, finance law, capital deployment and the operational reality of building and running businesses where the gap between a result and its absence is the difference between survival and failure. I began in financial services at Generali before joining Clifford Chance, where I worked on the collapse of one of Europe's largest corporate groups, a multi-billion euro accounting fraud. I went on to administer a €3.3 billion CVC Capital Partners fund, then joined one of the offshore magic circle firms, where I worked on private equity structures, cross-border corporate finance and listing mandates for clients including AXA Real Estate, Santander UK, State Street, Healthpeak Properties, Inc. (formerly, HCP Inc.), Harrison Street and other global financial institutions. My observation of how power, accountability and leverage actually operate has been built from the inside. Through my advisory and venture capital firm, I have built a food venture from start-up to £23 million in revenue and led the post-pandemic transformation of a £70 million pound, among other mandates. I also work with investment firms and senior executives on strategic communications, including investor-facing materials, shareholder letters and public positioning. I am the author of The Re-Alignment Era, a structural analysis of how effort and outcome have become disconnected across modern institutions. I am a long-standing member of the Institute of Directors.

Conflict ROI Architect: Navigating Dark Personalities, Intersectionality, and the Future of Human Work
Portland, Oregon
Conflict isn't just a communication breakdown; it’s a neural one. Most leaders treat conflict as an inevitable cost of doing business, but in reality, it’s a massive leak in your productivity. On average, every employee loses 2.8 hours per week navigating workplace friction. For a mid-sized team, that is hundreds of hours of paid time annually drained by everything from everyday misunderstandings and toxic personalities to the complexities of disability accommodations and the stress of adopting new technology. For owners and HR directors, that is a staggering amount of lost capital and human potential. As a 3x TEDx speaker and conflict resolution architect, I show organizations how to reclaim that time. My work is built on a proprietary neural framework: Processing (Neural) + Interpretation (Conflict) + Behavior (Resolution) By training teams to understand that processing is physiological and interpretation is where conflict takes hold, I provide a clear path to behavioral resolution that scales. Beyond standard skills training, I specialize in high-stakes intersections: from disability belonging and trauma-informed leadership to my specialized series on skillful termination and more. Backed by a track record of developing trainings that help businesses reduce costs and improve ROI, including speaking engagements at SHRM and SIOP, I am currently bridging the gap between human psychology and innovation. I am leading a team to develop an AI framework designed to dismantle systems of oppression and boost human effectiveness. My goal is simple: I transform those 2.8 hours of lost time and the stress it brings into skillful interactions that reduce costs, protect your culture, and produce an ROI that makes sense.
