OBJECTIVE

I am a certified Governance, Risk & Compliance

professional with over 25 years of experience across diverse sectors, including aviation and investment banking. My extensive expertise encompasses regulatory

compliance with prominent international regulators such as IATA, ICAO, GDPR, and GDP, as well as key domestic regulators including SEC "Tadawul", GACA, GAC, and NCA. In my recent role at SAL (formerly Saudia Cargo), a subsidiary of Saudi Airlines, I acquired deep knowledge of ground-handling operations.

Earlier, at Alkhabeer Capital, I was instrumental in transforming the firm from a startup into a leading boutique asset management company in Saudi Arabia. Over 8 years, I established the investment operations infrastructure, supporting over 300 high-net-worth clients and managing assets totaling SAR 4.5 billion. I collaborated with top audit firms such as EY, KPMG, and PWC, as well as investment firms like Goldman Sachs.

At Al Guthmi, I spearheaded year-round promotions and marketing initiatives aimed at enhancing and cultivating the store's brand identity. Al Guthmi, with its 23 retail outlets across the country, specializes in furniture fabric sales.
