Bio Summary
I’m currently a VP in the Principal Investments team at GIC, focused on technology, media and telecom investments in the GCC (Kuwait, UAE, Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Bahrain and Oman). My background prior to joining GIC is in Finance at GE, Management Consulting at McKinsey & Company, e-commerce at Tatayab, and a brief MBA internship at BECO Capital, a venture capital firm in Dubai. In general, I am extremely interested in the e-commerce, tech and VC sectors in the GCC.
I am fortunate enough to have lived and worked in London, Dubai, Doha, Istanbul, Singapore, Bahrain, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Chicago, and finally Kuwait - where I'm from.
I have an MBA from The University of Chicago Booth School of Business (2018) and a Bachelors of Science in Business Administration from Carnegie Mellon's Tepper School of Business (2011).
