The Company
A holding company built around a single conviction — that technology, when purposeful, creates enduring value.
Desert Sand Global is the private investment vehicle of Aaron Thomas Eastwood. It holds and stewards a portfolio of operating companies, minority positions, and long-term real estate investments — with a particular focus on security technology, held through direct ownership and select partnerships.
Headquartered in the United Arab Emirates and founded in the wake of three successful exits, the company operates quietly across the Gulf, the United Kingdom, the United States, and Poland — deploying capital, expertise, and patience in equal measure.
