About

Seasoned and forward-thinking chief financial officer with over 15 years of progressive experience in financial leadership, including more than a decade in C-level and executive roles across diverse sectors such as insurance, fintech, leasing, finance, technology, and infrastructure. I specialize in financial transformation, strategic planning, capital structure optimization, and regulatory compliance, with a strong command of IFRS, SOCPA, VAT, and internal control frameworks. My expertise extends to managing organizations with net worths ranging from SAR 100M to 5B and monthly revenues of SAR 400M to 800M, delivering measurable impact through cost savings, operational efficiency, and sustainable growth. As both CFO and board secretary, I bring deep experience in corporate governance and cross-functional leadership across finance, HR, procurement, IT, and administration.   Academically accomplished with master’s degrees in accounting, financial management, and business management, I have further enhanced my executive acumen through elite programs at Stanford, Oxford, Harvard, Columbia, and London Business School. I also hold globally recognized certifications including FMVA, PMP, CertIFR, and CertIPSAS, equipping me to lead high-performing teams and navigate complex financial landscapes. Passionate about aligning financial strategy with organizational goals, I excel at leveraging ERP systems, data analytics, and digital tools to empower decision-making and drive enterprise value.
