His business life began with a small automotive-parts shop in Benghazi. From there he moved into distribution and logistics, and spent his early career building commercial links between North Africa and the Gulf in procurement, logistics and supply chains. In 2005 he began acquiring shares in the Commercial and Development Bank (BCD). On 21 December 2008 he founded Al Mored Oasis General Trading LLC in the UAE, which became the base of his business activity in the Gulf. In 2010 he acquired shares in Berniq Airways.

His focus then turned to heavy industry. He chairs Libya United Steel Company (SULB) and the Tosyali-SULB partnership, a direct reduced iron steel complex in Benghazi that the group describes as one of the largest DRI projects in the world. In 2023 he acquired shares in Libyan Cement Company and later became its Chairman; in 2024 about 80 homes for workers were built in connection with the company's operations. In 2026 work is under way to restore the second production line at LCC's Hawari plant after 13 years out of service, while the Zulfa Food Industries factory is moving from construction towards production readiness.

He kept his companies operating in Benghazi through the conflict years of the 2010s. He has continued to study throughout his career: an Extended Diploma in International Business Strategy from the Scottish Qualifications Authority (2021–2022), membership of the Chartered Management Institute since 2022, and an MBA from International Business University, Toronto (2025). He is now pursuing doctoral-level studies. His recurring concerns are jobs and training for young Libyans, housing for workers, and local industry. His motto is "Stay, adapt and keep building."
