About

I’m passionate about using AI to solve real-world problems and drive meaningful innovation. With a PhD in Artificial Intelligence from King’s College London, I’ve had the opportunity to work across industries like tourism, smart transportation, and real estate, helping organisations integrate AI into their operations and strategies. Currently, I serve as the Innovation Director at Beyond and am a member of the Saudi National Committee for Artificial Intelligence. My work focuses on bridging the gap between emerging technologies and practical applications, ensuring AI isn’t just a buzzword but a tool that delivers real value. With a background in product management, technology strategy, and digital transformation, I enjoy tackling complex challenges, managing innovation projects, and working with teams to bring AI-driven solutions to life. I’m always keen to collaborate, learn, and explore new ways AI can make an impact. I also enjoy training and teaching.
