About

As an accomplished C-Suite executive with over 20 years of experience in the MENA region, I specialize in corporate management, real estate investment, and structured finance. My career spans leadership roles in high-profile companies, where I have overseen multi-billion-dollar mergers, fund management, and corporate restructurings. With a focus on maximizing operational efficiency and driving sustainable growth, I have led transformative initiatives that have enhanced market competitiveness and created long-term value for stakeholders. Throughout my career, I have demonstrated a strong track record in debt & asset restructuring and capital raising, alongside significant entity acquisitions. My expertise in managing sovereign-backed financing and fostering strategic partnerships has enabled me to navigate complex financial landscapes effectively while contributing to urban development projects aligned with national economic objectives. Currently, I lead real estate investment strategies at Al Nahla, overseeing large-scale developments and structuring financial deals in collaboration with sovereign entities. My approach emphasizes strategic planning, operational management, and innovative solutions to drive success across diverse sectors. Looking to connect with industry professionals, investors, and organizations that seek to explore new opportunities in real estate, finance, and corporate development.
