Built, scaled, sold, integrated, transformed.

Ahmed founded TravelCar in 2012 and built it into an international mobility platform. TravelCar unlocked underused mobility assets by connecting travellers, parked vehicles, parking infrastructure and rental demand.

• Founded in 2012, after a first career in cybersecurity
• $25M+ raised across successive rounds
• 60+ countries, including the United States
• 1M+ users globally
• Airport, car park and mobility operator partnerships
• Acquired by PSA Group / Stellantis in 2019

TravelCar expanded across Europe, the United States and other markets. The business required building technology, operations, partnerships, trust, supply, demand, pricing and local execution — at the same time.

• International expansion and local market execution
• Marketplace scaling and supply–demand liquidity
• Partnership development with airports and infrastructure operators
• Fundraising across successive rounds
• Regulatory and local market complexity

After the acquisition, Ahmed stayed inside the group and contributed to the integration and development of its mobility platform — aligning entrepreneurial execution with corporate governance.

• Post-acquisition integration
• Product and technology alignment
• Mobility platform consolidation
• Shareholder and stakeholder management
• B2B and B2C mobility services

As CEO of Free2move, Ahmed has led a major phase of scale, turnaround and strategic transformation, taking a complex mobility platform to profitability while reshaping its perimeter.

• 12,000+ connected vehicles deployed across Europe and the United States
• 3,600+ franchise partners supported through mobility-as-a-service
• 300M+ transactions processed, in 40+ currencies
• 3 M&A transactions completed
• 3 corporate carve-outs
• Profitability achieved after a major turnaround
• Technology platform prepared for next-generation mobility solutions

Ahmed helped lead Free2move through its strategic sale by Stellantis to Mutares. The step marks the transition of Free2move into a new phase as an independent platform under international private equity ownership.

• Preparation of a complex business for a new ownership structure
• Carve-out and separation readiness
• Stakeholder alignment across a global group
• A full cycle completed: creation, exit, integration, transformation, transition

Since 2019, Ahmed has invested through Danocap, his personal holding and investment platform, backing founders and funds mainly across France and Europe with a broader international perspective.

• 50+ startup investments
• LP in 10+ VC and PE funds
• Mobility, SaaS, AI, logistics, marketplaces, tech-enabled operations
• France and Europe focus, international perspective
