About Me

With over 15 years of professional experience, my journey has been driven by a passion for innovation in the energy sector. At Aramco Ventures, my mission aligns with the company's commitment to pioneering advancements in energy. My goal is to continue contributing to Aramco's culture of excellence by bringing diverse perspectives and a strategic vision to our investments. Since April 2023, I worked in a dedicated team at Aramco Ventures, focusing on the investment in early-stage and high-growth companies that are pivotal to Aramco's strategic interests in sustainability. Prior to this, my role as Team Lead at Aramco honed my abilities in overseeing research programs and in developing oil treatment technologies. These experiences have sharpened my skills in project management and techno-economic analysis, which are crucial in identifying groundbreaking opportunities in the energy sector.
