What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a senior-level opportunity where I can apply my experience in strategic communications, PR, reputation, executive communications, stakeholder engagement, and brand positioning. I’m open to different industries and especially interested in roles with ownership, strategic influence, leadership exposure, and room to make a visible impact.

I lead strategic communications at Imam Abdulrahman Bin Faisal University’s Deanship of eLearning and Distance Learning, supporting institutional reputation, executive positioning, stakeholder engagement, media relations, brand communications, and major transformation initiatives.

My work sits at the intersection of strategy, reputation, storytelling, and organizational change. I translate complex priorities into clear narratives, shape communications for leadership and key stakeholders, and lead campaigns that strengthen visibility, engagement, and institutional positioning.

Over the past several years, I have led communications for high-profile initiatives including the university-wide transition to Blackboard Ultra, AI-enabled education programs, professional fellowships, international award campaigns, and strategic partnerships. I have also shaped the positioning and launch communications of eLO AI Mentor, supporting its evolution from an institutional innovation into an internationally recognized initiative.

I’m particularly interested in communications roles where I can combine strategic thinking, reputation management, executive communications, stakeholder engagement, creative direction, and brand positioning while contributing meaningfully to organizational growth and transformation.
