Hi there and welcome! I'm Mahmood Hussein, author of this comprehensive guide, bringing over a decade of hands-on experience in the drone industry.
My journey began in South East Asia, where I helped my family sell vegetables from age five. After relocating to England at seven, I pursued my passion for learning, eventually earning a mechanical engineering degree despite dropping out of school initially.
I founded Global Drone Solutions nine years ago, growing it into Western Australia's largest drone pilot training provider. We've had the privilege of working with industry giants like Rio Tinto, BHP, Shell, and Chevron. I've helped over 500 aspiring entrepreneurs transform their passion for drones into thriving, profitable businesses, generating multi-million-dollar annual revenues.
My work has been recognised with the Pearcey Entrepreneur of the Year Award (2022) and Aviation/Aerospace Australia’s Outstanding Leadership in Training Award (2024), while Global Drone Solutions was inducted into the Mal Bryce Hall of Fame (2021). This book contains real-world insights and proven strategies that took me years to learn. Now, I'm sharing them with you to help you skip the costly mistakes and fast-track your success.
