Capabilities and Insights Team LeaderDubai

The giving nature of McKinsey is remarkable. You benefit as much from the gift of seeing others grow as you do from being guided yourself.

Since I joined McKinsey in 2017, I was encouraged to chart my own course based on my passion for mentorship and expertise in economic development. It amazes me how the firm continues to support each of us in creating a balance that motivates us and enables exceptional impact for our clients.

Choosing McKinsey

I never thought twice about joining McKinsey once I received the offer. With its notorious reputation focused around creating an unrivaled environment for exceptional people and pushing clients' impact to new frontiers across the world, McKinsey continues to be a trailblazer in its field.

Driving Client Impact

My most memorable client experience involved helping a large sovereign wealth fund drive its contribution to local content with a priority focus on real estate. We worked closely with the client to identify the key strategic pillars, including more than 15 initiatives, and several enablers for a local content strategy across their entire portfolio.

Charting Your Own Course at McKinsey

Within six years I was able to hone my consulting skills, grow as a leader, and become a knowledge professional with expertise in Economic development within our public sector practice. I am now encouraged and enabled to help our clients grow. I am also a team leader in our Middle East Client Capabilities Hub of more than 40 exceptional knowledge professionals that truly represent the best of the firm in deploying regional expertise and offering digital asset solutions. I have no doubt I will continue to grow because of the endless opportunities the firm gives me to shape my own journey.

Interviewing with McKinsey

I pushed myself to ensure I was prepared for the interview process. With the support of case-coaching sessions and guidance from McKinsey prior to the interviews, I was able to succeed. McKinsey truly helped me become the best version of myself before my interview.
