My work focused on corporate and functional strategy design, operating model development and activation, financial modelling, valuation, and large-scale transformation programs.

Example projects included designing an environmental strategy and building a full HSSE operating model for a national ports authority, leading a corporate strategy refresh and a national supply chain resilience program for transport authorities, advising a PIF-owned public safety company on enterprise-wide workforce strategy and AI integration, and assessing the launch of feeder shipping services in the Middle East for a regional cargo player, including feasibility, go-to-market strategy, and acquisition due diligence.
