About

I am a Group CFO with 14 years of progressive finance leadership across some of Qatar’s most complex and diversified holding groups — spanning construction, concessions, infrastructure, real estate, oil & gas, power. My experience is built across the full capital structure of conglomerates: from project-level treasury and trade finance, to group-wide financial control, debt restructuring, ERP transformation, and board-level reporting. What sets my profile apart is breadth with depth — I have led or supported businesses across six distinct sectors under one holding umbrella, giving me the ability to navigate multi-entity complexity, cross-sector capital allocation, and group-level strategic finance. Key career achievements include: • Closure of multi-billion dollar local and international financing deals across sectors • Structured and supported bids for major PPP/concession projects • Led two full-cycle ERP implementations across group operations • Built and scaled finance functions from Director to CFO level at UCC Holding • Active experience in oil & gas and power — sectors requiring specialist financial governance CMA certified | 14 years GCC-based
