Ecosystem Program Leader & Innovation Strategist — designing learning systems and programs that empower entrepreneurs, researchers, and changemakers across MENA.
I have over 18 years of experience planning and executing programs across engineering, education, and cultural innovation. My work sits at the intersection of learning design, program strategy, and human development — and I bring a rare combination of technical rigor (Mechanical Engineering, Mechatronics) and deep human insight.
As a Program Designer and Ecosystem Builder, I collaborate with international organizations, accelerators, and NGOs to create learning journeys that don't just inform — they transform. My mission is to design holistic systems that embrace authenticity without losing executive drive.
I'm also a certified coach, facilitator, and social innovation fellow with a passion for psychology, sustainability, and peace facilitation. I apply analytical and creative skills to design solutions that empower and inspire.
From international organizations to startup ecosystems — I've led programs that move the needle.
88 endorsed skills — here's what matters most.
