I am the Chief of Staff at an economic development think tank focused on the Middle East, and the Head of Programmes at Palestine Emerging, a coalition platform dedicated to the reconstruction and development of the West Bank and Gaza, where I lead the design and scaling of complex economic programme portfolios and structure blended finance investments that deliver both impact and financial returns.

I previously led the production of the Healthcare Transformation and Partnership Blueprint, which is now being implemented under Palestinian leadership.

I began my career at McKinsey & Company in London and Paris, where I worked on private equity, coalition building, and digital product development projects. My experience includes fund strategy for one of the world’s largest asset managers and coalition and AI drug discovery for a leading pharmaceutical company.

I hold a Masters in Land Economy from the University of Cambridge and a BA in Archaeology and Anthropology from University College London, where I specialised in Islamic and Chinese art.

I am a trained archaeologist and have volunteered with several non-profit organisations, including Alzheimer’s Research UK. In my free time, I enjoy writing and reading. A recent topic of interest is the industrialisation of and economic development in space.

I am 183cm tall and weighs 70kg (the standard body type of an Olympic lightweight rower).
