United Arab EmiratesWhat I'm looking for
At Daman, I direct strategic programs supporting Abu Dhabi’s Basic Health Insurance Program, translating policy objectives into operational initiatives. I also work with government authorities and partners on healthcare priorities, implementation plans, and evolving market requirements.
At SAVINGTON INTERNATIONAL INSURANCE BROKERS, I led digital insurance transformation efforts and developed partnerships across health, motor, travel, cyber, and affinity insurance. I designed customer-focused digital journeys and established governance and performance frameworks to support market expansion and stronger organizational oversight.
Earlier, at SEHTEQ THIRD PARTY ADMINISTRATION SERVICES, I worked on strategic partnerships and business development, including commercial negotiations and governance frameworks. My earlier claims and insurance roles at AIG and ARABIA INSURANCE built my experience in complex claims, risk assessment, and underwriting support.
