You have ideas in the room. The harder part is turning them into measurable value.
Many organizations talk about innovation. Fewer know how to govern it, measure it, scale it, and make it part of how people actually work.
Because innovation is not a workshop, a lab, or a campaign. It is a system.
A system that connects strategy, governance, people, ideas, portfolios, performance, and value creation.
That’s where I come in.
I help organizations build innovation engines that:
↠ Align innovation with strategy and institutional priorities
↠ Develop clear innovation governance models and decision-making structures
↠ Assess innovation maturity and readiness
↠ Build innovation labs, incubators, accelerators, and portfolios
↠ Discover and activate innovation talents inside the organization
↠ Turn ideas into initiatives, pilots, and measurable impact
My work sits at the intersection of innovation strategy, institutional excellence, human capital, creativity, AI, future foresight, and organizational development.
What I bring:
↠ 15+ years of consulting, training, and assessment experience across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, Qatar, Jordan, Lebanon, Palestine, and Libya
↠ Authorized Innovation Assessor and Certified Innovation Strategist by the Global Innovation Institute
↠ GInI Innovation Ambassador
↠ Certified Design Thinking Professional and innovation trainer
↠ Extensive experience in innovation maturity assessments, innovation lab accreditations, and innovation readiness projects
↠ Developer of a methodology for discovering innovation talents within organizations
↠ Designer, facilitator, manager, and judge of innovation hackathons
↠ Creator of Sadeem, the first Arabic AI-powered enterprise innovation management platform
I also help organizations design and run innovation hackathons from end to end: challenge framing, ideation, team guidance, solution development, pitching, judging, and implementation planning.
A key part of my recent work is Sadeem, an AI-powered platform designed to help organizations manage the full innovation lifecycle, from idea capture and evaluation to strategic alignment, portfolio management, performance measurement, and value creation.
My mission is simple:
To help organizations move from scattered innovation activities to a disciplined, governed, measurable, and sustainable innovation system.
Innovation should not depend on luck, individual enthusiasm, or one-time initiatives.
It should become an institutional capability.
