Ridaa S. — Co-Founder
My career has been defined by a strong commitment to audacity and innovation. After starting in corporate risk management, I transitioned to the start-up world, where I spent four transformative years. I led the regional expansion of the largest Open Banking platform in the region, growing the team from 8 to over 80 globally. My efforts also ensured regulatory compliance and secured key licenses, allowing the platform to thrive in a challenging landscape. In 2022, driven by my entrepreneurial spirit, I co-founded Daleel and took on the role of Chief Operating Officer. I draw on my extensive experience to drive the company’s growth and navigate the competitive start-up environment. My focus on innovation and strategic growth is at the heart of Daleel's continued success.
