I lead multidisciplinary teams and advise senior stakeholders, delivering clear, defensible analysis that informs investment, development, acquisition and disposal decisions. Against the backdrop of Vision 2030, I bring senior-level perspective on Saudi Arabia’s evolving real estate market, helping investors, developers and landowners navigate its opportunities and complexity.
