About me: My early teenage passion for business has never ebbed, driving me on a focused path to earn a bachelors in Business Administration, concentrating in Project Management, from Alfaisal University and a masters in International Marketing from the University of Brighton.
Following that, I joined McKinsey and Company as a Knowledge Analyst along with starting an entertainment business in Riyadh. This passion was reinforced when I worked in business operations at my father’s medical clinics during the COVID-19 outbreak. These formative experiences increased my fascination for turning around businesses, enhancing their efficiency and improving their offerings. I decided to join Jada Fund of Funds to better understand how private equity works and learn about this interesting ecosystem.
After four years at Jada, I knew that I needed to enrich my financial knowledge and equip myself with the required technical skills to accelerate my evolution as a private equity professional. I therefore decided to pursue an MBA at LBS concentrating on Finance and Private Capital.
Beyond work and school, I enjoy travelling and discovering new places, and watching documentaries.
Three topics I can be approached for: Private equity and venture capital; the Middle East; women’s empowerment.
