Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
Seasoned Chief of Staff and Business Operations leader, bringing a strong blend of strategic insight, operational excellence, and hands-on execution to complex, high-level environments. Over the course of my career, I have partnered closely with CEOs, C-level executives, and ambassadors across diverse sectors and high-stakes settings. I am known for anticipating business needs before they arise, driving mission-critical initiatives forward, and building operational frameworks that enable leaders to stay focused on what matters most, vision, growth, and innovation. In my role as Chief of Staff, I act as a force multiplier to executive leadership, serving as a trusted advisor and strategic connector across teams. I specialize in aligning priorities, streamlining workflows, and translating strategy into clear execution. A core part of my work is executive communication, bringing clarity to complex discussions, structuring information, and ensuring alignment across stakeholders. More recently, I have integrated AI into my workflow to enhance speed, precision, and consistency in communication and decision support. I leverage AI to structure meeting outputs, extract decisions and action items, and refine messaging, while maintaining the judgment, context, and tone required at the leadership level. My expertise spans executive operations, mergers and acquisitions (including integration and separation processes), diplomatic and Foreign Service environments, and a strong technical foundation across software, hardware, and networks. I am known for my attention to detail, emotional intelligence, and ability to operate with discretion and composure under pressure. I bring a proactive mindset, strong situational awareness, and a relentless focus on delivering clarity, alignment, and results.
