I work at the intersection of strategy, capital efficiency, and market judgment, helping businesses grow without losing sight of risk, cash discipline, and unit economics.Over the past six years, I’ve worked across operating roles and deal-facing teams, supporting decisions that required navigating incomplete data, misaligned incentives, and real-world constraints. At KM Foods in Qatar, I led a strategic repositioning of the customer base toward higher-quality institutional buyers, delivering 2.7x MRR growth while materially improving working capital efficiency and predictability. Previously, at HCL Tech (embedded with Google Cloud’s deal strategy team), I supported commercial structuring and pricing decisions for high-growth startups, balancing margin sustainability with client value creation. I also redesigned critical operational workflows for Virustotal, removing structural process dependencies that had stalled invoice recognition and enabling clearance of $28M in pending payables.Alongside full-time roles, I’ve led and contributed to market and sector analyses across essential food, consumer, and retail ecosystems in Qatar and the UK, including a go-to-market and restructuring strategy for a UK-based supermarket chain preparing for institutional capital.I’m particularly interested in consumer, technology-enabled services, and emerging market businesses, where outcomes are shaped as much by execution and incentives as by strategy on paper. I value curiosity, first-principles thinking, and asking uncomfortable questions early, especially in environments where information is scarce and narratives are easy to manufacture.
