AI Family Office Manager for DIFC & Wealth 2026: The Billionaire's Algorithm

The Excel Spreadsheet of Doom

A $2 Billion Family Office manages assets across 15 countries. Real Estate in London. Private Equity in New York. Gold in Dubai. The Patriarch asks: "What is my total liquidity exposure today?" The CFO replies: "Give me 3 days to merge the spreadsheets." In those 3 days, the market moves. Opportunity lost.
