About
Who I Am
A proudly Omani leader — born, raised, educated, and built entirely in Oman. Over three decades of driving firsts across telecom, banking, financial services, and technology — not by following trends, but by creating them.
From launching Oman’s first 3G network and SMS banking to leading the National ICT Strategy, my career has been defined by one principle: we lead change, or we wait for change to be forced upon us.
Today I operate across corporate leadership, venture building, and investment — channeling experience into building Oman’s next generation of businesses and entrepreneurs.
“Fortune favors the bold.”
