Who We Are

An operator-led boutique — not another consultancy.

Most advisors sell frameworks. We have built, imported, homologated, distributed, sold and raised capital ourselves. That operator credibility is the difference between advice and execution.

Paired with a genuine manufacturing network across China, Taiwan and the US — and a base in Dubai — ORYX BRIDGE de-risks your move between Asia and the Gulf, and turns it into measurable growth.

“We don't just advise on this market. We've done it.”

The Bridge

One corridor. Two worlds connected.

Juan Alejandro Bettiz Barreda founded and scaled an electric-mobility company to a Top 3 national position, taking products from Asian factories to a new market — through homologation, distribution and government relations.

Fifteen-plus years across the US, Latin America and the MENA region; a network of suppliers in China, Taiwan and the US; investor-readiness work behind a $2M round; and 100+ founders mentored. Now based in Dubai.

  • Real operator track record — built, imported and sold.
  • Genuine China & Taiwan manufacturing network.
  • Bilingual, bicultural — fluent across US, LATAM & MENA.
