Our Stakeholder Manager in KSA

I grew up as one of those children where numbers simply made sense. I was fascinated by every mathematics subject as I progressed through my education and quickly decided that a math-oriented field would ultimately be the best fit. 

As a result, I graduated with honours from Princess Norah University in Riyadh with a bachelor's degree in accounting. Given my interest in community development, I started and led the accounting club as well as another student clubs. As my accounting career progressed, I worked at an international company for three years as a Treasury accountant. This role developed my accounting and finance skills as I consistently assisted the CFO. It also equipped me with the ability to work in multinational and multicultural environment.

I firmly believe that everything happens for a reason and that things always work out how they are supposed to. By the end of 2019 and start of 2020, I had decided to look for a new challenge in my life with a new industry as well, so I joint AtkinsRéalis as Regional Project Accountant. I was seeking a way to become more expert in Financial Planning and Analysis, to have the possibility of working on giga projects, and to provide information and analysis to help the business make informative decisions about the Company's strategies, operational plans, and capital expenditures. I have found these opportunities at AtkinsRéalis, and I have developed a noticeable excitement for this role to be a good financial specialist. I was a key finance point of contact supporting Cost Management, Commercial, Financial Control, Project Management and programme director for our big projects. 

In 2022, I took on a new role as Business Support and Stakeholder Manager, which has given me the opportunity to gain a lot of exceptional and enriching knowledge to further improve my interpersonal skills, leadership style, and my understanding of our businesses. My role encompasses many aspects, such as stakeholder management, culture and change management, project management, cost and risk management, and client management.  

I’m extremely delighted with this achievement as I’m able to have more impact on our company and its culture. I firmly believe that life is not only about achieving our daily tasks, but it is certainly about people. Human capital can be an essential driving force for any company’s success.
