About me: Having grown up in Kuwait, studied and worked in the US, and now pursuing my MBA in London, I have always enjoyed meeting people from different backgrounds and learning from their experiences.

I graduated from NYU Stern in the US and began my career in investment banking at DC Advisory before moving into private equity at P4G Capital Management. I am now a Senior Investment Associate at MaLinea Global, our family office, where I work across public and private market investments, including an international real estate portfolio, and with operating businesses spanning consumer goods, education, hospitality and pet care.

I chose London Business School to broaden my perspective beyond investing, develop as a leader and prepare to take on greater responsibility within our family office. The School’s international community, experiential learning opportunities and location in London were big pros, but what ultimately made the difference was the people.

At London Business School, I serve on the Executive Committees of the Student Association and the Family Business Club. Outside the classroom, I am an Afro House music producer and DJ, an avid table tennis and padel player, and always up for travelling somewhere new.

Three topics I can be approached about: MBA application process; living/moving to London; family business/office.
