What I'm looking for

I seek roles enabling cross-border venture growth, hands-on financial leadership, and strategic partnership development within high-growth, mission-driven teams.

I am a results-driven Business Development & Venture Analyst with hands-on experience building financial models, performing due diligence, and managing multi-sector investment portfolios across MENA and the Americas.

I have led market-entry strategy, capital-stack design, and investor engagement for early-stage ventures in fintech, hospitality, energy, and climate-tech, securing seed funding and informing senior-level decision-making through rigorous scenario analysis.

I combine quantitative rigor with stakeholder management and regulatory insight to structure partnerships, prioritize scalable pipelines, and translate strategic recommendations into executable growth plans.
