Riyadh, Saudi Arabia
I'm driven by challenges. In moments of calm, I find myself restless, constantly seeking the next big problem to solve. Put me in the crazy world of ventures and startups, and I feel right at home. That chaotic uncertainty? That's where my creativity thrives. Being resourceful is in my nature. Once, with just Google Forms and Sheets, I set up a system that seamlessly managed a multifaceted delivery process, juggling multiple parties from franchises to delivery men, from the main delivery company to central customer care. It's in these moments, creating something from nothing, that I feel a genuine spark. Over the years, I've had the privilege to start businesses, mentor budding entrepreneurs, and venture into the arts, playing music on prominent stages. Each experience has taught me that embracing challenges, staying innovative, and remaining adaptable are the keys to a fulfilling journey.
Supporting multiple early-stage startups in business modeling, fundraising readiness and financial planning.
As a committed business mentor at 249Startups, I have the privilege of providing personalized one-to-one and one-to-many mentorship to the talented incubates and alumni of the organization.

Together, we work towards unlocking their full potential and achieving sustainable growth. It's a rewarding experience to witness the transformation and success of these driven individuals.
