What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead finance transformation, project finance, governance, and ERP-enabled operational excellence in a complex, growth-focused organisation.

I've led finance, ERP, procurement, and inventory mandates at Medad Holding and Medad Technology, spanning finance operations, commercial activities, project finance, banking partnerships, governance, and logistics across 30+ entities.

I enabled AED 300M in project business finance, secured financing for government telecom contracts valued above AED 150M, and managed banking facilities worth AED 200M. I work closely with C-suite leaders and Big 4 audit partners on group consolidation, IFRS compliance, budgeting, reporting, external audits, and strategic investment decisions.

I've delivered rapid ERP transformation, including a three-month Dynamics 365 go-live, and built SAP and Power BI reporting capabilities to improve operational control. My focus is on standardising processes, strengthening working capital, and embedding ISO-aligned governance across complex operations.
