Dr. Saida Ali holds a PhD in Finance from the United States International University–Africa, capping a distinguished career that spans over 15 years at the intersection of financial strategy, program leadership, and humanitarian advocacy. Her doctoral research deepens a lifelong commitment to rigorous financial thinking — one that has shaped every stage of her professional journey. She currently serves as Chief Program Officer and Head of Operations at Sunview Medipro International, where she leads a national medical equipment deployment program spanning 500 health facilities across all 47 counties of Kenya — one of the largest initiatives of its kind in the region. Her financial expertise was forged through senior technical analyst roles on major donor-funded initiatives with the World Bank, UNDP, and IFRC/AU, specializing in financial modelling, analysis, and business development. She brings this same rigor to governance as a second-term Board Member and Chair of the Audit and Risk Committee at the Kenya Institute of Special Education, and as Executive Director at the Muslim Education Council, where she oversees budgeting and financial strategy. Beyond the boardroom, Dr. Ali is a dedicated humanitarian advocate, championing initiatives that raise awareness, mobilize support, and deliver assistive devices to children living with disabilities. Her career embodies a rare synthesis of financial precision and heartfelt purpose — a testament to what disciplined leadership, grounded in compassion, can achieve.
