The Perspective
Alexandra Saad doesn’t speak the language of traditional ‘Human Resources.’ She engineers people ecosystems where growth is a result of intentional design, not accident.
Professional Overview
With 20 years of experience across Europe, GCC, and Africa, Alexandra is the People & Culture Senior Director at Nawy. Her mandate covers the breath of the people landscape: Culture, People Experience, Employer Branding, Internal Communications, and Talent Management. Driven by the belief that standard is rarely enough, she also founded The Learning Estate by Nawy, the region’s first PropTech-driven hub dedicated to professionalizing industry capability.
Her career is defined by building high-standard infrastructures where none existed. She established a large-scale call-center training engine for Vodafone Romania, architected the greenfield learning and capability function for Vodafone Qatar’s launch, and scaled the regional footprint of JOBMASTER. Later, as General Manager, she built a British-standard HR consultancy in Egypt from the ground up.
