Back Story
Born and raised in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, I always had an affinity for challenges that push the limits of knowledge and application. My degree in Business Administration with a focus on Finance from Prince Sultan University equipped me with the analytical and problem-solving skills necessary to navigate the complex investment landscape. Additionally, I hold an International Certificate in Wealth & Investment Management and am pursuing the CAIA Level 1 certification, demonstrating my commitment to continuous learning and growth in the financial sector. I began my career at HSBC Saudi Arabia in Alternative Investments, where I developed a deep understanding of investment strategies and product innovation. My role involved researching and crafting comprehensive strategies that contributed to product development. Seeking to expand my experience, I joined Watheeq Proptech Venture, where I took on responsibility for due diligence, deal structuring, and portfolio management. My expertise in these areas ensured that investments were backed by solid analysis and optimised for growth.
ON THE LOOKOUT FOR
I actively seek out visionary founders whose bold ideas have the potential to disrupt markets and drive meaningful change. I value resilience and strategic agility, key traits that allow founders to navigate market volatility while maintaining focus on their goals. Founders with a balance of raw passion and experience are particularly appealing, as they have the insight and grit to turn ambitious ideas into reality. As an LP, you can expect me to bring a discerning eye to every deal, ensuring we back founders who possess both the talent and the strategy to deliver high-growth outcomes.
