My journey to RS VERITY

The story of RS VERITY is the story of the lessons I gathered over fifteen years of work inside Saudi organizations, across people, delivery and governance. Each stage added a piece to the way we work with clients today.

  1. 2011

    Where it all began

    I began my career in human resources at one of the Kingdom’s best-known private-sector companies. Working in a fast-moving, customer-facing business, I learned early that an organization is only as strong as the people who carry its standards every day.

  2. 2012

    Learning how organizations run

    I joined a leading Saudi research university as HR Coordinator, supporting HR operations, talent processes and coordination across the organization. It gave me a working understanding of how policies, processes and people connect day to day.

  3. 2015

    Advising leadership

    As HR Advisor (Strategic and Operational), I advised leadership on organizational strategy, workforce planning and policy implementation, and contributed to institutional frameworks and operational efficiency improvements. I saw that structures and capabilities decide whether a strategy can be delivered at all.

  4. 2018

    Leading at scale

    As HR Contractor Lead, I oversaw all of the organization’s operating contractors, running the portfolio as a single program: managing their workforce, contracts, compliance and performance, and serving as the link between each provider and the organization. It taught me how to manage many moving parts as one program, and that is where my move into project management began.

  5. 2021

    Building the enterprise PMO

    I joined a PIF portfolio company as EPMO Director and led the establishment and development of the PMO: project and portfolio methodologies, frameworks and governance, performance tracking and KPIs, and executive dashboards, while overseeing strategic projects and initiatives. It showed me how much clear visibility improves the quality of decisions.

  6. 2024

    Putting people at the center

    As Head of People and Culture, I led people, culture and organizational development: policies and practices, performance and talent management, and support for organizational transformation, aligning human capital with the company’s strategy.

  7. 2025

    Governance that works in practice

    As Project and Risk Director, I established and developed the project and operations risk function: frameworks and methodologies, risk registers and controls, treatment plans and escalation, and executive risk reporting that supports governance and decision-making. I also served on the company’s Risk Management Committee (2022–2025) and its Business Excellence and Transformation Committee (2023–2024).

  8. 2026

    RS VERITY is founded

    Having led delivery, people and control, I became convinced that organizations need an advisor who sees all three together, and who has stood where their leaders stand. Backed by an MBA and PMP, PMI-RMP, PRINCE2/P3O and SHRM workforce-planning credentials, I founded RS VERITY in Al Khobar as an executive advisory firm with three practices: PMO and Transformation, People and Culture, and Risk and Governance. We work with leadership teams in organizations that are being established, growing or going through transformation, starting with clarity through the Executive Organizational Diagnostic and staying with them until results are embedded.
