A Chartered Accountant and Strategic CFO with nearly two decades across technology, investment management, and retail in the GCC, I build reporting, controls, and governance tight enough to pass diligence and useful enough to drive decisions. Today I do this in two ways: leading finance inside ambitious, high-growth businesses, and partnering with companies and founders to cut shared-services cost with AI, sharpen strategy, and raise capital. As a founder of AI ventures myself, I don't just advise on AI in finance, I build it.

Lead as a Virtual / Fractional CFO: embedded CFO support for scale-ups across reporting, controls, FP&A, cash, and board-ready numbers. Revamp strategy and scale up: sharpening strategy, unit economics, and operating models to get ventures growth-ready. Raise capital: financial models, valuations, pitch decks, and investor readiness across funding stages.
