About

Over the past 12+ years, I have advised clients across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, the wider GCC, and the United States. My experience spans real estate advisory, investment and development strategy, corporate finance, M&A transaction advisory, financial due diligence, valuation, finance transformation, and advanced financial modeling. Today, I serve as Co-Founder and Managing Partner – Head of Consulting at Alta Real Estate Advisory. I lead engagements involving highest and best use studies, market and financial feasibility, investment and development strategy, strategic asset repositioning, financial structuring, and transaction support across mixed-use, residential, hospitality, retail, office, logistics, and specialty real estate assets. My broader experience includes real estate strategy and financial advisory with CBRE; M&A and transaction advisory with Deloitte, Moss Adams, and BDO; corporate strategy and M&A within a global organization; and finance transformation and strategic financial advisory for Fortune 500 and Fortune 200 companies. What differentiates me is the ability to connect market intelligence, development strategy, investment analysis, and corporate finance—bringing together strategy, structuring, analysis, and execution to support commercially sound decisions. Core areas of expertise: • Real Estate Investment and Development Strategy • Highest and Best Use and Feasibility Studies • Market Assessment and Strategic Asset Repositioning • Financial Modeling, Valuation, IRR and NPV Analysis • Corporate Finance and Capital Structuring • M&A, Transaction Advisory and Financial Due Diligence • Quality of Earnings and Private Equity Transactions • FP&A, Finance Transformation and Performance Management • Saudi Arabia, GCC and U.S. Market Experience I am FMVA® certified and serve in executive and advisory board capacities, bringing both an advisor’s perspective and a decision-maker’s mindset to my work.
