About

I lead group strategy and delivery management across Misk’s subsidiaries, working across social impact, real estate development, film production, video games, culture, arts and education. Alongside my role at Misk, I invest in B2B AI startups across the GCC and Europe. Before Misk, I spent more than 12 years in tier one consulting. I was a Partner at Bain, and previously worked at McKinsey and BCG. Altogether, my work has spanned advanced manufacturing, sustainability and digital - with particular interest in sustainable cities, investment attraction, human capital development, semiconductors and giga projects. I use LinkedIn to share lessons from consulting, a window into what’s happening in Saudi - particularly in AI, culture and tourism - and practical reflections from work and leadership. All views are my own.
