Physics
Systems thinking, analytical discipline and the habit of looking for the variable that actually changes the outcome.
Career profile · Saudi relocation
Governance, change and delivery for AI-enabled organisations.
My background is unusual. Physics taught me to model systems. Law taught me where accountability fails. Thirteen-plus years of practice taught me how to make the fix hold.
Available for relocation to Saudi Arabia · Employer-sponsored visa required
Why the background makes sense
Three disciplines, one operating pattern.
Law
Risk architecture, accountability, evidence and a practical view of where formal structures fail under real pressure.
Practice
Cross-functional delivery without a large team, through ambiguity, competing interests and implementation constraints.
The through-line is the ability to diagnose a messy system, translate requirements into roles, controls, registers and decisions, then work through implementation with the people who must use it.
Evidence recruiters can test
The profile is broad. The proof points are specific.

Selected evidence
Work that shows the operating pattern.
Designed a multi-module governance architecture and is now operationalising it.
Policies, agreements, ownership structures, registers, team guidance, sign-off waves and implementation routines across 15 numbered operational domains.
Worked as the only legal and governance function across eight companies.
Construction, manufacturing, healthcare, logistics and retail workstreams, including procurement, licensing, inspections, contracts, acquisitions and internal workflows.
Held responsibility across confidential, high-value matters without overstating ownership.
Prepared and supported tender documentation for public procurements exceeding RUB 100M under ongoing legal-services engagements. Contributed legal and documentary work to an industrial-asset acquisition valued at RUB 150M+, including document preparation and asset-transfer formalities.
Client identities and matter files are confidential. These are participation claims, not claims of sole deal ownership.Role families
Where the evidence is strongest now.
AI Governance & Change is the chosen market direction. It is not a claim of long AI-governance tenure.

Why Saudi Arabia
This is a long-term professional direction, not a short stop.
I am preparing for relocation to Saudi Arabia and building jurisdictional understanding through primary-source study, public working notes and Arabic learning. I am looking for work where governance, technology, people and implementation meet.
