    A Cornerstone coach based in Dubai

    Coaching Approach

    I believe all leaders are internally resourceful and skilled to deal with complex issues. I help leaders to think clearly, manage their energy and make informed decisions with new insights. My ‘repertoire’ approach is client-centered and tailored to meet unique leadership challenges faced by my clients.

    Typical Clients

    My clients are senior business executives and government officials who are eager to evolve and learn how to achieve peak performance for the ultimate success of their organizations and themselves.

    Results Achieved

    The President of a large Saudi organization was considered a star performer who consistently delivered excellent results. However, he was not aware of a blind spot that was becoming a barrier in the quality of his decision making. Once I helped him discover the blind spot and its potential impact, he consciously changed his signature process of arriving at a major decision. The impact of this change was felt and recognized far and wide beyond his own organization.

    I coached a leadership team of a very prestigious R&D organization in Saudi Arabia. The team was not recognizing the potential of interdisciplinary contribution: each research center had to innovate product and solutions. After a series of sessions, the team was able to identify several new ideas and patents in a short span of time.

    Professional History

    I have held responsible positions and made a high impact on organizational excellence and bottom line. A unique mix of senior management and advisory roles in various organizations in the Arabian Gulf helped me accumulate practical wisdom which is found highly useful by my clients.

    Credentials

    I received my MS Industrial Engineering from King Fahd University of Petroleum & Minerals, Saudi Arabia. I completed executive education from London Business School and the global management program from INSEAD. I am certified as a coach by the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and PhD candidate in Leadership Coaching at Canterbury Christ Church University, UK. I am also certified and experienced in various leadership assessments including MBTI, EQi, Global Leadership 360 and Corporate Athlete.
