EXECUTIVE CAREER SUMMARY

I am a Chartered Accountant with over 23 years of extensive leadership experience in financial governance, corporate governance, strategic planning, startups, investments, M&A, IFRS and ERP implementations, and performance management. For more than 16 years, I have held senior leadership roles in Saudi Arabia, successfully spearheading initiatives across diverse sectors including manufacturing, contracting, real estate, infrastructure, utilities, energy, and healthcare.

I have a proven track record in establishing and leading group-wide financial frameworks, driving transformative strategies, and executing high-impact restructuring initiatives for prominent business groups in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia. A defining aspect of my career has been the formulation and execution of sound financial strategies that have addressed complex financial challenges, enhanced cash flow management, and supported long-term organizational sustainability.

• Strategic Transactions: Played a key role in major due diligence, acquisitions, and divestments. Notable transactions include the formation of Tabreed KSA (in collaboration with National District Cooling, UAE) and EMCOR KSA (in partnership with EMCOR Facilities, USA).
• Corporate Governance & Performance Management: Partnered with PwC to implement corporate governance and KPI-based performance frameworks. Developed group-wide financial policies, built financial models, and introduced structured reporting systems across multiple business units.
• Technology & Regulatory Compliance: Proficient in Oracle Fusion and Odoo ERP platforms. Successfully led VAT implementation projects and oversaw the review of tax, VAT, and Zakat filings—achieving full refund claims.
• Business Transformation & Restructuring: Contributed to the Ministry of Water’s (KSA) national transformation program in partnership with Oliver Wyman. Led ACWA’s conversion from LLC to CJSC, restructured loans totaling SAR 1 billion with a secured two-year grace period, and developed scenario-based financial models to support executive decision-making.
• IPO Readiness: Played a key role in preparing organizations for IPO, enhancing financial systems and governance frameworks to support growth and investor confidence.

Throughout my career, I have remained committed to effective risk management, strategic investment planning, and building strong stakeholder relationships.
