About

A visionary life science and biotechnology executive with a strong investment lens and a proven track record of leading transformative ventures across the Middle East, particularly within Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 innovation and health transformation agenda. With a multidisciplinary background spanning pharmaceuticals, digital health, and biotechnology, I’ve built and scaled high-impact ventures that bridge patient needs with strategic capital and national health priorities. My experience spans fundraising, market access, clinical innovation, and cross-sector partnerships, working closely with regulators, global investors, and public-sector entities to accelerate growth and unlock value. Key highlights include: • Biotech & Investment Strategy: Spearheaded the launch of IB Ventures, the Kingdom’s first dedicated biotech investment ecosystem backed by a $50M fund, designed to catalyze innovation, attract global partnerships, and accelerate Saudi Arabia’s biotechnology transformation in alignment with Vision 2030. • Clinical Innovation & Market Entry: Founded IV ONE, the Kingdom’s first licensed outpatient infusion center, defining a new model for ambulatory care and enabling decentralized access to specialty biologics. • Pharmaceutical Growth Leadership: Drove record-breaking performance at MSD, including the historic launch of Keytruda in Saudi Arabia, establishing it as the #1 oncology brand and tripling revenue within four years. Fluent in aligning commercial excellence with regulatory strategy, I thrive at the intersection of science, policy, and capital. My approach is hands-on, impact-driven, and centered around building ventures that deliver measurable outcomes for patients, stakeholders, and national economies.
