I’m an Organizational Development Director building the talent, leadership and culture systems that large organizations run on, across the United States and the Gulf for 19 years. Currently leading talent and organizational development for a Dubai-listed group of about 19,000 employees in eight businesses.
Some of my achievements:
Cut staff turnover from 16% to 9.8% across more than 10,000 employees at Majid Al Futtaim, about 600 fewer leavers a year.
Improved retention 20% and engagement 25% at S&C Electric through leadership programs and a new competency framework.
Built a career pathway for 120 emerging leaders at Crystal Clean where 70% moved successfully into new roles.
Delivered five people platforms for 19,000 employees with no external vendor spend, including engagement analytics in seven languages and executive KPI dashboards.
Brought eight businesses onto one talent and organizational development operating model with common standards, governance and executive reporting.
What gets me up in the morning:
I wake up each day because I want to make a difference in peoples’ lives by supporting them to become their better selves.
“On behalf of our team, I appreciate you for being our leader and mentor. You helped shape our careers and professional life especially with giving us the opportunity to work on other strategic projects. It allowed us to get out of our comfort zone and expand our knowledge. Thanks so much for everything.” - Hassan Said Katmitto, Training Manager
My Background
I’m an Organizational Development Director who learned by doing, by making mistakes and by learning from them.
My passion for getting the best out of individuals led me to learn organizational psychology and human behavior theories and apply them.
