People & Culture | HRBP | Talent Acquisition | AI-Enabled HR | Startup Scaling
I help startups and growing businesses build the people, hiring, and HR systems they need to scale — without creating unnecessary complexity.
With 5+ years of experience across HR, Talent Acquisition, People Operations, HR analytics, and technical recruitment, I’ve worked with startups, tech-enabled businesses, multinational environments, and multi-brand companies across MENA, Europe, the US, and India.

- Implemented Jisr HRIS as a centralized HR and workforce management system
- Led recruitment for 10+ operational branches
- Managed 26 technical recruitment assignments and delivered 76 pre-screened technical candidates
- Reduced Time-to-Hire by 25%
- Sourced and evaluated 2,000+ candidates in a single recruitment environment
- Achieved a 5/5 top assignment rating in technical recruitment
- Built AI-enabled workflows to reduce HR administrative workload
Who I work best with
I’m particularly valuable to:
- Startups building their HR function from scratch
- Founders who need a hands-on HR/People partner
- Growing companies scaling their teams
- Companies expanding into new markets
- Businesses struggling with recruitment or hiring quality
- Companies looking to automate HR operations
- Organizations that need better KPIs, performance systems, and workforce visibility
If you're looking for someone who can think like an HR leader, execute like a recruiter, analyze like a data professional, and approach problems with an entrepreneurial mindset, I’d be happy to work with you.
Let’s build an HR function that actually helps your business scale.
