I was invited & joined TID with the goal to streamline the investment process, automate the monitoring & reporting, and to restructure & diversify the investment portfolio, in addition to several departments such as DMD (Diligence & Monitoring), RnA (Research & Analysis) & PFS (Private Financial Services). I also dealt with support services depts.; however, due to world financial crisis & company’s huge debt problem - all projects were cancelled as a result - while dealing with crisis management issues & difficult business situations.
Joined GIH in June 2004 where I have successfully restructured and managed the direct investments portfolio including the establishment of two companies (a real estate investment co. named Mada’in in UAE - geographical diversification & an industrial investment co. named Afkar in Kuwait - sector expansion). In establishing Afkar, I headed the feasibility study performed by Moore Stephens; while at the same time performing due-diligence & investing in several industrial opportunities in Kuwait, Bahrain, & KSA. I also listed Tameer (now innovest) on both Bahrain & Kuwait Stock Exchanges & Arkan RE on KSE. I also organized and standardized the pre and post investment process with periodic monitoring & reporting for investment & risk management.
