About

The partner that gets AI and Canva running in your business

Xanadu is a boutique team of strategists, technologists and creators, helping enterprises across MENA and the UK move from AI experimentation to AI in production, and from Canva licences to creative that scales.

Why we exist

Born from experience.
Built for what’s next.

We were founded on a simple belief: that AI and the tools around it will become every organisation’s most valuable capability, and the winners will be the ones who put them into production, not pilots.

Production over pilots

We reimagine how enterprises turn ideas into impact. Complex things made simple, under real data and real accountability.

We have done this before

We know how to turn a platform shift into adoption at scale, because we have done it before, twice.

Built in Dubai, distributed globally

Our roots are in Dubai, where East meets West. From here we connect with teams across MENA and the UK.

Daragh McGrath, Founder and CEO

Our founder

We have turned a platform shift into scale before.

Xanadu was founded by Daragh McGrath, whose career has been spent building the partner businesses at the centre of major technology ecosystems. He founded one of the first Google Cloud partners in APAC, later acquired by Cloud Sherpas; then Enablo, which became the largest global partner for Meta’s Workplace platform and grew to roughly USD 25M ARR; and Worklabs, spun out of Enablo. It is partner-ecosystem leadership across the Google and Meta ecosystems, now applied to Canva and enterprise AI, helping organisations across MENA and the UK adopt them with governance, scale and real outcomes.

The team

Several of the team have built partner businesses alongside Daragh before: Von Fehily across the Cloud Sherpas and Enablo businesses, and Nisha Kurani at Enablo.
