He is currently the chief executive officer at Alkhabeer where his responsibilities include overseeing the company’s asset management business.
Prior to holding the position of CEO, he was managing director of corporate banking and structured finance, where he was instrumental in originating and executing several key debt, real estate, and private equity transactions.
He also serves as a board member on several private and public funds managed by Alkhabeer.
Ghouth gained a bachelor’s degree in accounting from the King Fahd University of Petroleum and Minerals.
Alkhabeer Capital, an asset manager specializing in alternative investments, was recently ranked first in the “Best Workplaces for Women 2020” survey covering the financial sector in the GCC, and came second out of all companies in the global workplace culture authority’s Great Place to Work platform.
The company was selected following extensive data gathering with a focus on the Trust Index survey averages rated by female employees, consideration of female ratio in the business, and an audit of management policies and practices.
“Women in Saudi Arabia are a crucial pillar of the community and a driving force for socioeconomic progress, making strong impact through their valuable contributions across diverse fields,” said Ghouth.
He added: “We are proud to be recognized for supporting women empowerment in line with Saudi Vision 2030 as well as for our continuous efforts to champion the professional development of the female talent within our firm.”
