About me: I grew up in Dubai and bring over four years of experience in data, AI and business transformation across the Middle East and India. Prior to pursuing the MBA programme at LBS, I worked as a consultant in the data and AI space in the Middle East, where I partnered with governments to build data and AI strategies that fundamentally transformed their operations. In this role, I worked across industries and geographies, helping public sector clients rethink their digital infrastructure and supporting private organisations through large-scale transformations. I evaluated and implemented data solutions for over 30 organisations, my work taking me across the Middle East and India. I played a key role in advising clients on national-level data and AI initiatives, contributing to the strategies that shaped their digital growth and transformation.
Prior to consulting, I worked at Goldman Sachs, where I used data and AI solutions to solve complex financial problems. That experience sparked my passion for using technology and data to drive real business impact and showed me how powerful technology can be when paired with the right strategy.
Outside of the classroom, I’m part of the Women in Business and Data and AI clubs and am an academic representative.
In my spare time, you’ll find me driving to places I’ve never been, at the theatre, reading or on spontaneous road trips.
Three topics I can be approached about: Women in business; applying from the Middle East; navigating career transitions.
