A Career in Leadership and Institutional Development
For over twenty years, I have had the privilege of leading strategic initiatives in governance, institutional development, youth empowerment, and partnership management at national, regional, and international levels. I believe that building strong and sustainable institutions is the foundation for creating a genuine societal impact.
My Journey with the Emirates Scout Association
Since joining the Emirates Scout Association in October 2020, I have led a comprehensive path of institutional development and governance, driven by my belief that building robust organizations is essential for creating a sustainable impact in youth development.
As the Technical Secretary of the Association, I have led efforts in strategic planning, governance, institutional development, performance management, and digital transformation, ensuring that the Association’s work aligns with the standards of the World Organization of the Scout Movement (WOSM) and the UAE’s vision for youth empowerment.
This journey has contributed to achieving numerous institutional milestones, most notably:
-
Obtaining GSAT accreditation.
-
Achieving membership growth exceeding 165%.
-
Developing the governance system and institutional policies.
-
Winning institutional awards.
-
Enhancing financial sustainability.
-
Building strategic partnerships with government entities, international organizations, and the private sector.
-
Strengthening international and regional presence.
Leading and organizing major scouting events has been one of the highlights of my professional career. I have led executive task forces and supervised planning, coordination, and institutional operations for some of the most prominent scouting events at the Arab and global levels, including:
-
Technical Support Team Leader for the 42nd World Scout Conference (Dubai 2021): Responsible for coordinating technical operations and cooperation with WOSM and the supporting technical team from the World Scout Bureau and regional offices.

During these events, I led teams comprising over 500 staff members and volunteers, managed complex operational processes, coordinated with international delegations, supervised budgets, managed risks, and ensured the highest standards of quality, governance, and participant services.
In addition to my executive responsibilities, I have represented the Emirates Scout Association in regional and global conferences, committees, and meetings. I have contributed to the development of initiatives and policies for WOSM and the Arab Scout Region, supporting the capacity building of National Scout Organizations, enhancing regional cooperation, and solidifying the UAE’s position as an active partner in the development of the global Scout movement.
Executive Leadership and Entrepreneurship (Camp Adventures)
I serve as the Chief Executive Officer and Co-Founder of Camp Adventures for Educational and Recreational Trips, a company specializing in the design and operation of educational programs, youth camps, educational trips, and skill and leadership development programs in partnership with government, educational, and non-profit organizations.
Through this role, I lead the development of innovative solutions in non-formal education, capacity building, event and camp management, and youth programs. My focus is on designing adventure-based and experiential learning experiences that foster leadership skills, teamwork, and a entrepreneurial spirit among children and youth.
I also oversee strategic partnerships, operational management, the design of operational models, and the enhancement of institutional sustainability. This reflects my expertise in combining executive management, innovation, social entrepreneurship, and sustainable development impact.
Academic Experience (Arab Academy for Science, Technology & Maritime Transport)
I served as a faculty member in the Sports Science Department at the College of Maritime Transport and Technology within the Arab Academy for Science, Technology and Maritime Transport. In this role, I contributed to teaching and developing academic curricula for maritime transport and technology students, bridging theoretical concepts with practical applications in management, leadership, and institutional development.
I also participated in preparing and mentoring students, and supervising educational activities and initiatives that enhance leadership, teamwork, and problem-solving skills, preparing young talent for the job market and institutional leadership.
University Sports at Alexandria University
From 2011 to 2020, I contributed to leading and developing the sports activities system at Alexandria University. I participated in the strategic planning of university sports, managing sports tournaments and events, and developing student engagement programs to foster a culture of physical activity, leadership, and teamwork within the university community.
This experience solidified my expertise in strategic management, operational management, major event organization, partnership building, and leading multidisciplinary teams—foundations that heavily shaped my subsequent career in leading non-profit institutions and organizations at regional and international levels.
Management of Sports Teams and Organizations
My professional career in sports management extended to leading and managing sports teams, federations, and sports bodies, organizing tournaments, and developing institutional work systems:
