About

I help organizations in the GCC turn learning into measurable performance. In fast growing environments, training only works when it is tightly aligned with business priorities, leadership expectations, and operational realities. I am a Corporate Learning and Development specialist with over 12 years of experience supporting organizations across the GCC, South Asia, and North America. My work spans FMCG, retail, luxury, hospitality, healthcare, logistics, IT, education, and consulting, with a strong focus on leadership capability, frontline effectiveness, and performance improvement at scale. I have delivered more than 700 learning programs for 50,000+ professionals across Qatar, KSA, Kuwait, the US, Canada, and South Asia. I design and lead learning initiatives that strengthen leadership pipelines, improve service quality, and translate strategy into day to day execution. My expertise includes instructional design, program evaluation, leadership coaching, and digital learning ecosystems such as Moodle, Cypher Learning, Articulate 360, Udemy, and SharePoint. Alongside organizational L&D, I work as a leadership and performance coach, having supported over 1,000 professionals in communication, decision making, and people leadership. I have also led consulting and donor funded initiatives with organizations including USAID, UNDP, GIZ, and the British Council, bringing a disciplined, cross cultural approach to capability building. I am a published author and PhD (HR) candidate, blending academic research with practical execution to design learning strategies that are sustainable, measurable, and aligned with business outcomes. I work closely with senior leaders and HR teams to ensure learning is not treated as an event, but as a performance lever that supports growth, accountability, and long term organizational success.
