With extensive experience spanning the management of internal audit, governance, and risk, combined with a robust academic background culminating in ongoing studies towards an Executive Master’s degree in Business Administration (EMBA), and a recent Diploma in Corporate Governance, I am now seeking further opportunities and new challenge in my professional steps.

As you will see from my attached CV, I have enjoyed over a decade of experience, including recent success as Head of Internal Audit and Risk at a leading multinational and regional companies across the Middle East, Europe, and Africa.
