Aamir Qutub

Aamir Qutub is a bestselling author, AI strategist, and founder of Enterprise Monkey, a global tech and AI company. He created the Dumb Monkey Show to simplify technology and AI for business leaders who are tired of jargon and hype. Known for his fun, bold, and no-nonsense style, Aamir helps leaders spot “Dumb Monkey Syndrome” – the outdated thinking that holds businesses back – and replace it with practical, human-first AI strategies. His journey from a small-town middle-class kid in India to a CEO in Australia gives him a unique lens: part street-smart hustle, part boardroom strategy. On the show, he mixes stories, sharp insights, and cheeky humour to make tech less intimidating and more empowering. Whether he’s talking about AI, business, or life’s curveballs, Aamir’s mission is clear: help people lead with confidence in a world being rewritten by technology—without becoming robots themselves.
