Why Work With Me?

Arab by heritage. Business-trained in the Kingdom.

I spent 36 years working in Saudi Arabia and across the Gulf in marketing and training. I didn't study this culture from the outside. I worked inside it, and I understand both sides of the table.

My role is to help your negotiating team succeed while keeping your own business strategy and decisions firmly in your hands.

✓Read what's not said: pace, silence and indirect answers.
✓Speak the language and know the protocol.
✓Understand both American and Saudi perspectives.
✓Combine advisory and training for your whole team.
✓Bring real business experience and practical insight.
