The Council of Ministers recently approved a waste management system, aiming to achieve sustainability and enhance the quality of waste management services in line with Saudi Vision 2030.

Al-Harthi is a dynamic and motivated professional with a proven record of generating and building relationships, managing projects from concept to completion, designing educational strategies, and coaching individuals to success.

He is skilled in building cross-functional teams, demonstrating exceptional communication skills, and critical decision-making during challenges. He is also an adaptable and transformational leader with an ability to work independently, and develop opportunities that further establish organizational goals.

Prior to joining the waste management center, Al-Harthi held several communication positions in prominent organizations across Saudi Arabia.

From 2017 to 2019, he was the supervisor of public relations and media affairs at the Riyadh-based King Abdullah International Medical Research Center, where parts of his job responsibilities included establishing priorities and implementing strategic communication plans.

He also worked as a coordinator for public relations and media affairs at the center from 2016 to 2017. Before that, he also served as a public relations specialist for nearly a year.

From 2019 to 2021, Al-Harthi was the corporate communication team leader at the Saudi Investment Recycling Co., where he built strong connections with both government entities and the public. There, he successfully supervised executing public relations and media campaigns.

For nearly a year, beginning in 2016, Al-Harthi served as a lecturer at Imam Mohammad bin Saud Islamic University, where he gave talks on media documentation and authentic sources of information.
