About

✔ 𝗜𝗻𝗻𝗼𝘃𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝗖𝗼𝗺𝗺𝗲𝗿𝗰𝗶𝗮𝗹 𝗥𝗘 𝗳𝗼𝗿 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗙𝘂𝘁𝘂𝗿𝗲 I design and scale data‑driven commercial engines for large mixed‑use districts—integrating leasing, sales, partnerships, and customer experience into one P&L‑accountable system. From anchor‑tenant strategy to brand activation, my focus is turning prime assets into premier destinations that compound long‑term value. ✔ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗪𝗼𝗿𝗸 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗗𝗲𝗳𝗶𝗻𝗲𝘀 𝗠𝗲 At KAFD DMC, I lead all revenue‑generating functions across office, retail, residential, hospitality, and entertainment. I set KPIs, align incentives, and equip teams with enterprise sales systems so every prospect, negotiation, and closing moves faster—with clear governance, visibility, and accountability across the pipeline. ✔ 𝗠𝘆 𝗣𝗿𝗼𝗳𝗲𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻𝗮𝗹 𝗙𝗼𝗼𝘁𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗻𝘁 18+ years spanning CCO and VP roles at KAFD DMC, business development leadership at Hamat, portfolio growth at Numu & Unified, and strategic partnerships at Qiddiya. Managed SAR 30B+ in assets, drove double‑digit occupancy growth, negotiated multi‑million agreements, and lifted tenant satisfaction/retention by 25%+. ✔ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗞𝗻𝗼𝘄𝗹𝗲𝗱𝗴𝗲 𝗧𝗵𝗮𝘁 𝗣𝗼𝘄𝗲𝗿𝘀 𝗠𝘆 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 HEC Paris EMBA and Harvard Business School’s Senior Executive Leadership Program. Strengths in strategy, financial modeling, market intelligence, risk assessment, and customer‑journey design—supported by modern CRM, reporting, and analytics tools to steer decisions in real time. ✔ 𝗧𝗵𝗲 𝗖𝗵𝗮𝗹𝗹𝗲𝗻𝗴𝗲𝘀 𝗜’𝗺 𝗦𝗼𝗹𝘃𝗶𝗻𝗴 Fragmented leasing, slow deal cycles, and inconsistent CX. I build integrated commercial playbooks, standardize leasing workflows, and institutionalize post‑leasing services—so occupancy, yield, and lifetime value rise together while brand equity compounds across the district. ✔ 𝗠𝘆 𝗠𝗶𝘀𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 & 𝗩𝗶𝘀𝗶𝗼𝗻 Create enduring, investment‑grade destinations that attract global and regional leaders. Align strategy, people, and platforms to deliver visible P&L impact, resilient tenant ecosystems, and a benchmark customer experience that elevates the city and the region. ✔ 𝗟𝗲𝘁’𝘀 𝗖𝗼𝗹𝗹𝗮𝗯𝗼𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲 & 𝗠𝗮𝗸𝗲 𝗮𝗻 𝗜𝗺𝗽𝗮𝗰𝘁 Open to CEO‑track leadership and strategic advisory around mixed‑use leasing, portfolio optimization, and commercial transformation.
