What I'm looking for
I am a senior insurance and risk professional with over 20 years' experience across Saudi Arabia in corporate insurance advisory, technical pricing, broking and risk assessment. I specialize in identifying and quantifying exposures and designing tailored insurance programs that align with business continuity and regulatory requirements.
My career includes end-to-end broking workflow management—from submission analysis and coverage design to policy issuance and claims recovery—where I improved process quality, reduced errors and enhanced client satisfaction. I have a strong track record in insurer and broker negotiations, contractual risk review, and securing competitive premiums and policy wordings.
I have acted as an external Insurance Manager / Risk Buyer for clients across construction, medical, industrial, retail, hospitality, contracting and trading sectors, advising on risk transfer and mitigation strategies. I am also experienced in CRM utilization, data analysis and preparing strategic management reports to support decision-making.
I bring a collaborative leadership style, hands-on technical ability and a focus on continuous process improvement, quality control and team training to deliver measurable improvements in risk management and insurance portfolio performance.
