About
Joined Dubai’s leading real estate powerhouse, bringing 22+ years of expertise in treasury management and corporate finance from real estate, banking and aviation sector. Previously, as Vice President - Treasury at TECOM Group, I spearheaded financial strategy for one of Dubai’s largest commercial space lessors, driving impactful initiatives like refinancing an AED 7.6B loan, an AED 2B acquisition, and as Group Treasurer built Air Arabia’s treasury from the ground up. Passionate about creating value through data-driven solutions, risk mitigation, and mentoring startups, I’m excited to elevate performance and support sustainable growth in real estate.
