About

I work at the intersection of startup ecosystems, investor engagement, and marketing strategy — and I do it because connecting the right founder to the right opportunity changes industries. Over four years with Viridian Ventures' accelerator programme in India, I evaluated more than 150 startups across sectors, maintained a rigorous 4% acceptance rate, and contributed to cohorts that collectively raised over $150 million — including through the most challenging years of the pandemic. That experience taught me to assess potential quickly, build genuine trust with founders under pressure, and create conditions for meaningful, long-term growth. My work spans two disciplines that most professionals keep separate: ecosystem management and performance marketing. I have led end-to-end marketing operations — from strategy and content creation to AI-powered automation and analytics — while simultaneously managing relationships across investors, founders, and corporate partners. I reduced campaign redundancy by 25% through smart automation and grew qualified programme leads by 200% within my first year. Now based in Al Khobar, KSA, I am deepening my expertise in the GCC startup landscape — aligned with Vision 2030's mandate to accelerate entrepreneurship across Monshaat, SDAIA, and PIF-backed innovation programmes.
