Vienna, Virginia, United States
With a career spanning three decades, I've immersed myself in the economic, social, and political landscapes of Saudi Arabia and the broader Middle East. At the core of my work is the Saudi-US Trade Group, where I serve as Founder and President, steering our mission towards fostering deep, informed insights into Saudi and regional affairs. My editorial leadership of the SUSTG Review has transformed it into a premier resource, bridging knowledge gaps for an international audience. At its core, SUSTG Review is a valued resource for those seeking clarity in a region often misunderstood, offering nuanced, responsible commentary on key regional issues. In the digital media space, I also co-host The 966 Podcast, a pioneering English-language podcast on Saudi Arabia. Since 2021, it has rapidly grown to be the leading voice in its category, with a projected reach of over a million downloads and a growing YouTube presence. Previously I served as Senior Advisor at the Committee for International Trade (Federation of Saudi Chambers), and a 14-year tenure as Executive Director at the Middle East Policy Council. Moving forward, my goal is to continue leveraging these platforms to amplify informed discourse and build meaningful connections across cultures and industries.
