About

I have spent more than two decades inside Saudi corporate banking, most of it close to the work that keeps large clients moving: letters of guarantee, letters of credit, documentary collections, and the day to day corporate support behind them. Today I lead the Corporate Support function for the Central Region at Bank AlJazira.

What I am good at is making complex trade operations dependable. I draft guarantee templates that legal and credit can sign off quickly, I lead user acceptance testing for core trade systems, and I build small teams that clients ask for by name. I know URDG 758, UCP 600, and ISP98 the way you only can after years of applying them to real cases.

I am now looking for a senior role where I can own a larger guarantees or corporate support mandate, help shape policy, and keep raising the service standard for corporate clients.
