   Where it all began

   I began my career in project and programme management. I learned early that a good plan is only the start, and that discipline in execution is what turns intentions into results.

   Building my first PMO

   I led the set-up of a project management office, from methodology and governance to reporting to executive leadership. It showed me how much clear visibility improves the quality of decisions.

   Putting people at the centre

   At a leading Saudi research university, I took on people and culture responsibilities: organisational design, workforce planning and leadership development. I saw that structures and capabilities decide whether a strategy can be delivered at all.

   Governance that works in practice

   Within a PIF portfolio company, I helped establish the risk and governance functions: frameworks, policies, committees and controls designed to support the business rather than slow it down.

   Having worked across delivery, people and control, I became convinced that organisations need an adviser who sees all three together, and who has stood where their leaders stand.

   I founded RS VERITY in Al Khobar as a consultancy and training firm built on practitioner experience, with three practices: PMO and Transformation, People and Culture, and Risk and Governance.

   Looking ahead

   Today we work with leadership teams across the Kingdom, starting with clarity through the Executive Organisational Diagnostic and staying with them until results are embedded. Our ambition is to be the partner Saudi organisations trust to tell them the truth and help them act on it.
