About Me
With a distinguished career spanning more than 30 years across the financial services ecosystem, I am writing to express my interest in senior leadership and executive consultancy opportunities with your organization. My extensive background offers a rare and powerful combination: a proven track record on the Investment and Treasury Front Desk, seamlessly paired with deep, institutional expertise in Operations, KYC, Compliance, and AML. Leveraging this 360-degree perspective, my recent tenure as a Freelance Consultant has focused on delivering agile, high-impact strategic solutions tailored specifically to the unique regulatory and financial landscapes of the GCC and MENA regions.
Throughout my career, I have been recognized as a visionary, team-spirited leader capable of navigating highly competitive markets and driving bottom-line success. Because I have sat on the front desk, I possess an innate understanding of revenue growth, asset management strategy, and treasury workflows. Simultaneously, my extensive operational leadership allows me to design the robust internal controls, modern post-trade frameworks, and rigorous compliance architectures required to safeguard those investments.
As a specialized consultant within the GCC and MENA zones, I bridge the gap between front-office ambition and regulatory mandate by delivering on the following pillars:
Front-Desk Treasury & Investments: Drawing on decades of market experience to advise on treasury mechanics, investment strategies, and the competitive positioning of local and regional funds.
Operations & Infrastructure: Optimizing multi-asset pipelines, modernizing post-trade clearing, and managing complex service provider/custodian ecosystems for seamless execution.
Regulatory Compliance & AML: Designing, auditing, and future-proofing anti-money laundering (AML) frameworks to ensure absolute alignment with fast-evolving regional and global statutory mandates.
KYC & Risk Mitigation: Spearheading rigorous Know-Your-Customer (KYC) onboarding architectures and institutional client due diligence workflows to mitigate systemic risk.
Service Provider Governance: Adeptly overseeing local and regional fund service providers, fund administrators, and third-party managers to ensure maximum cost-efficiency and operational compliance.
I pride myself on being a decisive strategist who not only understands the granularities of market infrastructures and compliance but also possesses the leadership acumen to mentor high-performing teams and manage complex stakeholder relationships.
