About

As Acting Learning Area Manager at Amazon, I’ve led learning and development initiatives during the JED3 to JED4 transition, HJX3 site launch the first Replenishment Distribution Center (RDC) and RUH8 site during Ramadan peak At Saudi Arabia. A critical phase requiring strong leadership, cross-functional coordination, and adaptability. I managed a diverse team, oversaw onboarding, safety compliance, and cross-training, ensuring smooth operations and alignment with business goals. My active participation in Weekly Business Reviews (WBRs) reflects my focus on quality metrics and data-driven decisions to support site performance. I hold a Bachelor’s degree in Business Administration from Umm Al-Qura University and I am currently pursuing a CIPD Level 5 Diploma in Learning & Development. This academic and professional background enables me to approach talent development with both strategic vision and hands-on experience. I’m passionate about empowering teams through impactful training, coaching, and continuous improvement.
