Here’s my belief
People are not a business problem to be managed. They are the reason businesses succeed or fail. Whether you need strategic HR support, one-to-one coaching, a workshop that actually changes behaviour, or help navigating the future of work, this is where we start.
How I can help
HR Health Check
Find out what’s working, what’s missing, and what needs fixing.
Most founders don't know what they don't know when it comes to HR. Things get added as the business grows, a contract here, a policy there, a process that someone created and nobody updated. Before long, HR has become reactive, inconsistent, and quite risky.
The HR Health Check is a focused two-hour session designed specifically for founders and business leaders who want clarity, fast. We walk through every stage of your employee journey, from hiring to offboarding, to uncover what's working, what's missing, and what needs fixing before it becomes a real problem.
Who it's for:
Founders and business owners with 10–100 employees who don't have internal HR leadership
Startups preparing to scale or formalise their people processes
Businesses where HR is reactive, and you want to clarity to change that fast
Investment:
AED 1,850 for an online session
AED 2,700 for an on-site session in Dubai

Not sure if this is right for you? Book a free discovery call, and we'll figure it out together.
What you'll walk away with:
Clarity on where your people foundations stand, across hiring, onboarding, pay, performance, and compliance
A visual HR Foundations Checklist showing what's in place, what needs work, and what's missing
A prioritised action plan with 3–5 recommendations you can act on immediately
Confidence that you're compliant, protected, and ready to grow
Peace of mind that your business is set up for sustainable, people-centred growth

Fractional HR Consulting
Senior HR expertise, without the full-time cost.
Most growing businesses reach a point where they need serious HR thinking, but not necessarily a full-time HR director. That's where fractional HR makes sense. I embed myself in your business, get under the skin of your culture and challenges, and bring senior strategic thinking to the people decisions that matter most.
Whether it's a one-off project or ongoing support, I work as a true extension of your leadership team, not a distant consultant, dropping in with a slide deck.
Two ways to work with me:
Bank of Hours: a flexible pool of hours you draw on as needed. Use them for restructuring support, people strategy, policy design, leadership coaching, HR process design, or simply a trusted senior voice when you need one.
Embedded Retainer: for businesses that need a consistent, ongoing HR presence. I become part of your team on a regular basis, giving you senior HR leadership without the permanent headcount or overheads.
Every engagement starts with a conversation. Let's talk about what you need and how we can work together.
Examples of what your hours can be used for:
People & culture strategy
Organisational design & restructuring
Performance management frameworks
Employee experience & engagement
HR process design & automation readiness
Leadership coaching & capability building
Compliance & policy review
Being the senior HR voice in conversations that need one
HR Transformation & AI
The future of work is already here. Is your people strategy ready?
The world of work is changing fast and HR needs to lead that change, not scramble to catch up. I help organisations think clearly about where AI fits into their people strategy, which processes are ready for automation, and how to upskill your workforce for what's coming. Strategic, practical, and human.
With a background in Software Engineering and IT consulting, currently completing a Human Resource Management with AI programme at NUS Business School, and over a decade leading HR technology implementations (SAP SuccessFactors, Bayzat, Workday, and BambooHR), I bring something most HR consultants simply can't offer: I understand both the people side and the technology side. That's not a common profile in HR. It happens to be mine.
What this looks like in practice:
HR Technology & Platform Implementation: From selecting the right HRIS to managing full implementations through to retiring legacy systems. I've led it all.
Digital Transformation in HR: Mapping your processes, identifying where automation and AI tools add real value, and designing a smarter HR function without losing the human touch.
Workforce Upskilling Strategy: Assessing current capabilities, identifying gaps, and building a practical plan that prepares your people for what's coming.
People Analytics & HR Dashboards: Surfacing the people metrics that actually matter, translated into clear, visual, decision-ready insights for your leadership team.
AI Applications in Talent Management: Data-driven hiring, predictive retention, AI-assisted performance reviews, and ethical AI hiring systems that are practical and genuinely useful.
Responsible AI & Governance: Helping organisations adopt AI with the right governance structures, usage policies, and accountability frameworks in place.
Workshops & Facilitation
Sessions your people will actually remember.
I design and deliver interactive, evidence-based workshops that create real behaviour change, not just a good day out of the office. All sessions can be delivered as standalone workshops or as part of a broader learning and development programme, tailored to your organisation's specific context and needs. Available in person across the UAE or online.

CERTIFIED PROGRAMME — SEARCH INSIDE YOURSELF (SIY)
Search Inside Yourself - the programme born at Google.
What the programme covers:
The SIY curriculum is built around three interconnected areas- mindfulness, emotional intelligence, and leadership. In practice, that means:
Attention training: building focus, presence, and mental clarity
Self-awareness: understanding your own emotions, habits, and patterns
Self-management: staying grounded under pressure and responding rather than reacting
Empathy: tuning into others and communicating with greater connection
Compassion: moving from understanding to action; leading with genuine care
Leadership presence: influencing with confidence and navigating difficult conversations well
The programme is roughly one-third content and two-thirds experiential, which means you practise these skills in the room, not just learn about them.
Developed at Google and grounded in neuroscience, the Search Inside Yourself (SIY) Leadership Development Programme is one of the world's most respected emotional intelligence programmes. I am a certified SIY facilitator, one of a select group globally trained to deliver this programme.
SIY builds the skills that modern leaders need most: self-awareness, empathy, resilience, motivation and the ability to lead with both clarity and compassion.
Available as:
1–2 hour keynote
Half-day or full-day workshop
2-day certificate programme
Audience: employees, managers and leadership teams
Executive Coaching
For the moments when you need someone in your corner.
Coaching is not therapy. It's not mentoring. And in my view, it shouldn't go on indefinitely. I work with senior executives, HR professionals, and anyone navigating the complexities of work and life, helping you get clear on where you are, where you want to go, and what's getting in the way. My job is to give you the tools, the clarity, and the confidence to take charge of your own challenges. If you no longer need me, I've done my job well.
How it works: Sessions are one hour each, delivered in person in Dubai or online. Most clients find that three to five sessions are enough to create meaningful, lasting change, though I'm always here if you need a top-up down the line.
Coaching might be right for you if:
You're stepping into a bigger leadership role and want to show up well
You're navigating a career or life transition, such as a career pivot, becoming a parent or restructuring in the workplace
You want to lead differently: with more presence, clarity, or confidence
Something feels stuck, and you're not quite sure why
One thing to know: I will challenge your thinking. Kindly, but honestly. If you want someone to simply validate what you're already doing, I'm probably not the right fit. But if you want a thought partner who will push you somewhere better, let's talk.
