I specialize in leading organizational expansion into emerging markets across Africa and the Middle East. Over 8 years, I've driven growth across diverse sectors, from fintech and mobility to traditional industries, guiding companies through market discovery, strategy, execution, and scale. My work spans strategic partnerships, go-to-market, multi-market operational alignment, and cross-functional leadership across Product, Engineering, Sales, and Legal teams.
Having lived and worked in Nigeria, Kenya, Egypt, Ghana, and Germany, and led projects in Morocco, Yemen, Ivory Coast, and the GCC, I bring a versatile skillset and thrive in dynamic and ambiguous environments.
Born and raised in Yemen, I'm passionate about the role technology, culture, and public policy play in nation building at home and across the developing world.
Outside of work, I like to read political history, collect records, and watch biography documentaries.
