What I'm looking for

I have no location preference and am willing to relocate to any country. My notice period is negotiable based on the offer and requirements.

At CORP Hotels in Saudi Arabia, I oversee financial planning, budgeting, forecasting, audits, VAT, and reporting across CORP Makkah Al Nasim and CORP Al Khobar. I implemented SUN SYSTEM, Q&A, OPERA, Sky Bayan, Sky Jana, and MICROS across the properties.

At Sevens Holding WLL, I directed finance for Royal Saray Resort and a portfolio of hotels, restaurants, nightclubs, and real estate projects. I helped increase revenue by 34% and profitability by 26% through sales and marketing strategies, cost controls, procurement improvements, and operational efficiencies.

Earlier, I held finance leadership roles with Grand Hyatt Hotel - Bismillah Group, Hashoo Group Hotels, Marriott, and Pearl Continental Hotels and Resorts. My work included hotel and construction finance, ERP implementation, internal controls, and project cost savings, including more than $2M through re-tendering, SOP alignment, and negotiations.
