About

I’ve spent the past 11 years working across growth, BD, partnerships, and fund management in KSA and MENA. My work spans gaming, startups, and emerging tech ecosystems with a track record in developing strategic partnerships and driving regional market expansion. This includes leading The Sandbox’s growth and ecosystem presence across the GCC, working closely with enterprises, creative partners, and public sector stakeholders. Beyond that, I advise a portfolio of founders and organizations in Saudi Arabia and internationally on product direction, go-to-market, and partnership strategy. I am also a co-founder of WASA, a community-led network that brings together builders, founders, and entrepreneurs working to advance Web3 adoption in Saudi Arabia through collaboration, shared learning, and long-term ecosystem development. I approach growth with an operator’s mindset: grounded in market context, aligned incentives, and execution that leads to real adoption. My focus areas include: • Growth & Strategic Partnerships • Venture & Startup Advisory • Gaming, Tokenization & Web3 Ecosystems • Business Development & Fund Management
