ABOUT ME
A blend of financial insight with creative thinking. Or simply, Buthaina.
My background is rooted in finance and investment, but the way I think goes beyond numbers. I enjoy understanding systems and turning complex ideas into something clear, structured, and meaningful.
Naturally energetic and deeply engaged in what I do, I am driven by curiosity and the process of building ideas from scratch, whether it’s financial analysis, research, a brand concept, or a business, and watching them grow from vision to execution.
For me, creativity is a thinking tool. It shapes how I explore ideas, challenge assumptions, and turn insight into something that can be felt, not just presented. That’s why I believe “The mind is not a vessel to be filled, but a fire to be kindled.”- Plutarch

Career Path
Investment Analyst
Al Koot Insurance & Reinsurance Company
October 2022 — Present
I currently sit at the core of the investment function, contributing to portfolio analysis, asset allocation, and performance evaluation across asset classes. My work turns market data and financial information into structured insight that supports disciplined investment decisions, with a clear focus on liquidity management across investment opportunities and operational needs. In parallel, I oversee payroll and employee-related financial processes, providing direct visibility into day-to-day cash flows and reinforcing financial oversight.
Senior Accountant III — Head of Procurement
Administrative Control and Transparency Authority
April 2019 — January 2021
In this role, I worked at the intersection of governance, financial analysis, and decision-making. A core part of my responsibility involved conducting technical and financial evaluations, analyzing bids and proposals to assess compliance, cost efficiency, and long-term value. My contribution went beyond process execution, focusing on informed decision-making, transparency, and financial discipline — ensuring that supplier selections and contractual awards aligned with strategic objectives and governance standards.
MIS & Financial Team Leader
Qatar Government Center (Malomatia)
May 2017 — March 2019
At a foundational stage of my career, I worked in a role that combined management information systems reporting with financial analysis within a contact center environment. Beyond numbers, I was involved in organizing monthly and quarterly performance reviews and supporting team development, which gave me exposure to how data, people, and performance come together to support operational effectiveness.
Achievements
Ranked First in MSc Finance & Investment Cohort
My MSc in Finance & Investment was more than an academic phase; it was a space to test my discipline and consistency amid the demands of life, balancing work and family. By the end of the journey, I graduated with distinction and ranked first in my cohort, as the result of sustained academic commitment and an analytical approach refined through every stage of the program.

Interests
Listening has always been the starting point, from understanding people and challenges to uncovering the ideas behind them. Over time, this instinct naturally evolved into commercial thinking, realizing that ideas do not grow on their own; they need structure. From there, graphic design became the space where intention meets execution, a way to give ideas clarity and direction, allowing creativity and business thinking to work as one. This is Buthaina.
