03 / THE PERSON BEHIND THE WORK
Direction.
Relationships.
Delivery.
I work where institutional ambition meets the partners, people and practical decisions needed to deliver it.
I’m a strategy and partnerships leader with more than 15 years of experience across institutional development, consulting, entrepreneurship and business banking. My work connects organisational priorities with partner relationships, programme design and execution, informed by experience in Qatar and Canada and ventures reaching MENA and North America.
At Qatar Museums, my Teen Hub consultancy brings together programme strategy, ecosystem development and partnerships, including Youth Fest delivery with the wider team. As Founder & Executive Director of Habibi World, I connect business direction with brand, retail and creative partnerships. Earlier work at HOST, TD and 3-2-1 Qatar Olympic and Sports Museum adds experience in strategic research, commercial relationships and institutional positioning.
My community work began with youth participation and education: co-founding the original Al Fakhoora student campaign in 2009, and serving as a founding youth committee member and volunteer with ROTA. Both initiatives are now connected to Education Above All.
What I can bring to your team
- Institutional strategy & growth: understand the landscape, clarify positioning and translate research into practical recommendations and programmes.
- Strategic partnerships: identify shared priorities, develop proposals and build relationships across institutions, businesses and social-impact organisations.
- Ecosystem development: create platforms and networks that connect entrepreneurs, talent, investors and institutional partners.
- Leadership & execution: set direction, align teams and contributors, and connect strategic decisions with delivery.
