What I'm looking for

I’m seeking a leadership position in finance, governance, and risk management.

At Abu Dhabi National Insurance Company, I oversee finance and advise senior executives on financial and commercial matters. I also represent the UAE insurance industry on the advisory Board established by the federal tax authority.

As Vice Chairman of the Emirates Insurance Federation Finance Committee, I represent the insurance industry in the UAE. I’m also a member of the UAE Central Bank task force developing the country’s financial inclusion and literacy strategy.

At The Royal Group, I served as Group Financial Controller/Internal Audit, working across its group finance and internal audit functions. Earlier, I held finance, audit, and advisory roles at Assurance Corp, Crowe Horwath, Petroleum Exploration Limited, and KPMG.

My work spans financial planning, acquisitions, risk management, governance, compliance, and audit. I use tools including SQL, Python, R, Alteryx, and Power BI, and hold CPA, CMA, CIA, CISA, CFC, and Cert CII credentials alongside an MBA in Banking and Finance.
