About Me

I’ve been in the UAE for over 19 years, associated with the Banking, Financial planning, and Insurance industries. My career in the UAE began with a strong foundation that was built over 10 years of experience in international banks like HSBC and Standard Chartered. In the year 2014 I made career shift to being a financial planner with Gateway Insurance Broker, later renamed as DOO Group. I’ve been with the current company for the last 11 years starting as a sales manager and advancing to the position of AVP in the organization.

Why you
Choose me?

With a career spanning over 19 years and having worked with more than 350 clients, I've encountered every scenario and experience imaginable, including good products, poor products, nice customers, teaching customers and products maturing. It seems that this has contributed to my own development as a compassionate financial advisor who prioritizes clients. Since we intend to have a long-term connection, I will make sure the clients are fully informed about the advantages and disadvantages (If any) of the solutions they are selecting. Strangely enough, not everyone requires financial guidance. Many of the clients already have sound financial strategies in place and are well-organized. Therefore, I could merely be consulting during my meetings to make sure everything is in order.

My experience taught me that there is no one-size-fits-all strategy. Over standard solutions, client needs should be prioritized.
