Syreen joined AIR in December 2025 as a Program Manager. She leads and collaborates with diverse global partners on Tech, Innovation, and Design Sprints focused on financial inclusion, financial regulation, and innovation, designing and facilitating Sprints and workshops that help regulators and financial service providers translate data and insights into actionable policy and product decisions.
Before joining AIR, Syreen spent ten years in international development as a program manager and monitoring, evaluation, and learning (MEL) consultant. She worked with United Nations agencies and academic institutions on programs advancing gender equality, education, and youth empowerment. This work took her to France, the United Kingdom, Jordan, and Kenya, giving her a cross-cultural and concrete understanding of how policy and programming translate into impact across diverse institutional and social contexts.
Syreen holds a master's degree in Political Science with a focus on the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region from the University of London, and a bachelor's degree in History from Sorbonne University. Outside of work, she enjoys traveling, exploring creative activities with friends, and reading.
