I have more than twenty-five years of experience with national and international organizations in several countries, great experience in supervision, management, training, and coaching, and more than fifteen years of experience in the development, humanitarian, and microfinance sectors, in addition to very big experience in small and medium enterprises in the public and private sectors, especially in the agricultural sector.
I have diversified experiences and extensive knowledge in project planning and budgeting for development, humanitarian organizations, and INGOs in the local and international domains.
I have very good experience in developing new strategies with donors and in business consulting, evaluating businesses, preparing business plans, and conducting feasibility studies for all types of projects, organizations, and NGOs.
I have very good knowledge of dealing with donors and investors, especially in development and microfinance projects.
Also, I have very good experience in project management, doing market research, establishing new microfinance companies, institutions, and NGOs, and establishing and restructuring various companies.
Furthermore, I have very good experience in mentoring and coaching entrepreneurs, where I contributed to many entrepreneurial weekends and events, where I participated in many events as a mentor or judge in addition to presenting many courses for entrepreneurs.
As a highly motivated and results-oriented leader within the microfinance sector, I have a proven track record of providing exemplary levels of service to establish new institutions and companies.
The experience of establishing new institutions has enabled me to contribute to conducting market research and preparing business plans and policies related to the concerned institutions.
During my professional career history, I worked as a trainer for NGOs, international organizations, MFIs, and the private sector, contributing to the preparation of training plans and training materials and providing the trainees with the required training. I also worked with many international and local NGOs as a volunteer or supporter, especially helping them design their organizational structures.
