Sarahah

I spent the past nine years investing in my professional development and gaining leadership and commercial experience. Now, I would like to spend my next career journey in helping a growth-focused Saudi business grow and achieve remarkable success. I seek a leadership role in shaping the venture strategy, internally by working on people, organization and capability building as well as externally on competitive and market-winning analyses and actions. I started my career, in 2010, in HR strategy and planning at the corporate-level for Saudi Aramco, where I gained analytical skills and experience. I then had the opportunity to work across many organization/people management departments in Aramco. Later, I lead analyses and advisory work for the company and its board on workforce compensation, benefits and other HR financial obligations and programs, for the company core business, as well as for JVs, affiliates, and M&As;. The two-year intensive MBA program at Harvard gave me deep understanding and skills across many business areas, especially in strategy and competitive analysis, leadership and global markets dynamics. In 2017, I decided to accelerate my career development and growth and gain accountability and decision making experience and exposure. I joined Careem, as a GM, in a leadership position with P&L and team responsibility. A year ago, I found an opportunity in Sarahah (sarahah.com), the internet startup, to help build a Saudi global internet venture with hundreds of millions of users. I focused on building the business. As a partner responsible for all commercial, financial and organizational work, I gained firsthand experience in starting a business and overcoming its challenges. I am eager to take on a leadership role to shape the strategy of a growth-focused Saudi business and support it to grow and achieve remarkable success.
