About Candidate

My established record of leading major healthcare initiatives across hospitals, cancer centers, and consultancy roles, I bring a strategic mindset backed by operational precision. From commissioning multi-million-dollar healthcare facilities to developing integrated HIS, ERP, and cybersecurity systems, my career has consistently focused on elevating patient care through innovation and efficiency.
At the SQCCCRC, I established the Informatics & Cybersecurity Department from the ground up, implemented AI-driven systems, and played a key role in achieving JCI accreditation. My leadership at ASSH saw the successful launch of a $55M hospital, ensuring regulatory compliance and operational readiness. At Procare and KAMC, I led infrastructure expansion and IT modernization projects exceeding $70M, always aligning tech with strategic healthcare goals. Through AHT Consulting and my advisory role with Aramco, I’ve guided organizations on policy, IT security, and operational excellence.
I specialize in integrating clinical needs with technological capabilities, ensuring smooth transitions, business continuity, and stakeholder alignment. My first impression is one of composure, capability, and commitment qualities that have allowed me to earn trust at all levels, from boardrooms to patient care units. I’m here not just to lead, but to drive sustainable growth and transformation in healthcare delivery.
