About

Investment Associate and Program Officer with hands-on experience across early-stage investing, startup acceleration, and investor relations in the Middle East. I work closely with founders on deal sourcing, startup screening, financial modeling, pitch refinement, and KPI-driven growth

My background spans entrepreneurship programs, investment analysis, and investor-facing roles, with experience supporting early-stage deals, portfolio reporting, and founder readiness for fundraising. I’ve also worked across enterprise sales and partnerships, giving me a strong understanding of go-to-market strategy and buyer decision cycles

I’m particularly interested in founder-first investing, disciplined execution, and building scalable businesses in emerging markets, with a focus on long-term value creation
