About

I bring close to a decade of business development leadership across Saudi Arabia's telecom and technology sectors, currently building commercial pipelines and strategic partnerships with government entities and technology partners at ELM. My work sits at the intersection of strategic planning, market expansion, and digital transformation — translating client and public-sector needs into product features, value propositions, and revenue.

I lean on advanced digital tools — Power BI, AI-enabled platforms, and business automation — not as operational add-ons but as strategic enablers, and back that with hands-on governance and compliance (GRC) practice for regulated, enterprise, and public-sector engagements.
