About me: Raised in Dubai, I have always been immersed in a global and dynamic environment, which has shaped both my perspective and career path. Prior to joining London Business School, I was primarily involved in private equity portfolio allocation and management across co-investments and primary and secondary fund investments in blue chip buyout funds. My role involved monitoring a diversified portfolio spanning various asset classes, evaluating new commitments and supporting investment decisions across strategies.
I later moved to a European private equity secondaries advisory startup, where I focused on underwriting and due diligence of secondary fund investments. Alongside this, I helped drive the development of fintech liquidity solutions for global banks, general partners and wealth managers. This gave me exposure not only to the technical depth of secondaries but also to the entrepreneurial challenge of building in an under-served market.
Three topics I can be approached about:
Navigating cultural differences; integration of fintech solutions and trends in private markets; student experience.
