Insurance CEO and founder delivering tailored risk and reinsurance solutions across MENA, with expert claims resolution.
What I'm looking for
I’m a visionary insurance executive and the CEO & Founder of SAR Insurance & Reinsurance Broker, delivering tailored insurance and reinsurance solutions in Lebanon and across the MENA region. I lead strategic operations, partnerships, and business development initiatives while advising corporate clients on industry-specific risks and objectives.
I’m known for driving growth and delivering outstanding service in complex insurance landscapes—especially high-value and jumbo claims. I oversee claims handling and ensure fair settlements, while also managing recruitment, compliance, financial reporting, and service delivery to keep clients confident and informed.
Before SAR, I served as Insurance Regional Manager and held multiple leadership roles, including Insurance Manager positions covering Egypt, UAE, Qatar, Kuwait, Oman, and Bahrain. I’ve managed underwriting inputs like pre-risk surveys and underwriting reports, coordinated renewals and procedures, and handled complex cross-border cases end-to-end.
