I talk to security and compliance leaders every day, and these challenges come up again and again:

❌ Missing certifications = blocked deals and lost revenue
❌ Security questionnaires eat up valuable time—teams spend 10-40 hours per month on them
❌ Compliance is only a priority during audit season, making it tough to prove security year-round

That’s where Vanta helps:

✅ Continuous compliance – SOC 2 & ISO 27001 monitoring 24/7
✅ AI-powered automation – answers security questionnaires in minutes with 95% accuracy
✅ Less manual work – so your team isn’t stuck in reactive audit cycles

Security and compliance should support growth, not slow it down.

If these challenges sound familiar, let’s chat! 🚀

The obstacle is the way. 

When I was 19, my father passed away unexpectedly.

I had 5 siblings and a stay-at-home mom to take care of.

Lucky for me, I had spent many years with my father at his hair salon that he opened in 1987, where at age 9, I learned how to answer the phone, book appointments, and greet 6-foot giants with a firm handshake.

However, with no barber degree or management experience, I was thrown into the deep end and had to learn how to swim quickly.

I made more mistakes than I would like to admit, but fast forward 7 years, I had learned some priceless things:

-Gave over 12,000 haircuts having a 97% return rate and a book of clients consisting of leaders and CEOs at Concur, Zones, Microsoft, Expedia, and many more.
-Became the top men's barber in Bellevue (35+ Yelp reviews :))
-Learned how to run a business, manage employees and satisfy customers

This gave me a unique perspective on business and life in general.

I persevered to gain entry into the UW Foster School of Business and ended up graduating with an emphasis in Sales and Marketing.

I knew I had a love for tech and a knack for sales, so when a client of mine, who was an SDR at DocuSign offered to refer me, I did not say no.

I was the fastest promoted SDR at DocuSign, lived through my first IPO with them, and learned a whole lot about SaaS.

After mass blasting emails from Outlook, we got Outreach at Docusign. 

I fell in love with the product and ended up getting hired by the VP of Sales, on the spot during my interview.

Never give up and always give 100%. 

You never know where life takes you. 

I speak Arabic fluently, and some English :)

Thanks for checking out my profile!  Feel free to connect with me.  Would love to meet you!
