A seasoned Saudi Change Leader who successfully delivered change initiatives to create new cultures of best practices and execution supported by policies, manuals, training and systems that were customized to specific organizational needs in the private and semi-government sectors.I established/managed 6 Project Management Offices (PMOs) and a Vision 2030 Realization Office (VRO).I have also had a leading role in strategy formulation at 3 government entities.These change initiatives were achieved through strong Leadership and emotional intelligence skills which resulted in acceptance and buy-in of the change by stakeholders who felt part of these changes, while delivering robust frameworks fitting the organizations' cultures.Being a poet and an intellectual, I possess a big picture perspective that inspires my creativity. At the same time, being a former computer programmer, I can combine my creative big picture perspective with high attention to details.My passion is to leave a positive impact for my country and the firm I work for, while staying true to my values and building healthy relationships full of synergy and mutual respect.

Senior Director - Management Consulting For GovernmentPwc Middle East Jan 2016 - Jan 2019Dubai, AeAs a secondee through PwC, I worked as a Vision Realization Office (VRO)/PMO Head for 3 key and central government ministries. During that period, I represented these ministries when interacting with external stakeholders to ensure proper buy-in of their strategies and initiatives.I led 20-30 people from PwC and the client team to set up (providing a framework, handbook and training) as well as operate PMO/VRO (including strategy and change management departments). Major National Transformation Program Initiatives (like establishing Center of Government entities) were delivered through a hands-on PMO.Execution was monitored through dashboards for tracking initiatives progress for the ministry and its sub entities.This was achieved through a BOT approach, by transferring the PMO leadership to the ministry and hiring and training up to 30 resources.In addition, I led project management consulting teams in 2 other entities. -
