I am the Chief Information Security Officer (CISO) at Circlys, a SAMA-regulated Saudi fintech operating an innovative saving-circle (Jam'iyat) model. I lead the organization's cybersecurity strategy across governance, risk, and compliance (GRC), SOC governance, risk management, and regulatory alignment.

With deep expertise in the SAMA Cybersecurity Framework, I have driven Circlys to achieve Cybersecurity Maturity Level 3, established a comprehensive governance program, and built a resilient multi-cloud security architecture fully compliant with KSA data-residency requirements.

I chair cybersecurity initiatives spanning enterprise risk, third-party assurance, incident response, and security awareness, partnering closely with executive leadership and the Cybersecurity Committee to embed security as a business enabler.

I am passionate about advancing cybersecurity maturity and building trust in the Kingdom's growing fintech sector.
