Beginning his career as a Chemical Engineer, Saeed spent over two decades in the UAE’s manufacturing and oil & gas sectors, holding multiple senior leadership positions.

Witnessing firsthand how stress impacts leaders and organizations, he chose to pursue advanced certifications in wellbeing, resilience, and emotional intelligence. His personal journey into mindfulness, yoga, and meditation not only brought balance into his own life but also equipped him to guide others in cultivating resilience, enhancing self-awareness, and building strong professional and personal relationships without compromising family life or personal wellness.
Today, Saeed is the CEO of Yuwab Consulting, a technology-driven startup providing coaching and consulting services for individuals and organizations with a vision to expand globally.

Through his entrepreneurial ventures, he continues to align business with wellbeing, innovation, and social impact.
As a certified executive wellbeing coach and yoga instructor, Saeed brings a unique approach to leadership development. His programs, workshops, and talks integrate practical leadership frameworks with mindfulness practices, helping leaders and teams unlock their full potential while fostering purpose, clarity, and sustainable growth.

His talks are rooted in authenticity and a genuine desire to create meaningful and lasting change.
