Profile

Educated in Singapore’s top schools, Shaqeel received the Prime Minister’s Book Prize at age 13 and subsequently went on to attend 6th form at a 400-year-old British Public School. He believes this early exposure to vastly different education systems and cultures, kindled in him a lifelong interest in the sector.

With a Law degree from UCL and as a fellow of the Institute of Chartered Accountants in England and Wales, his career started at Price Waterhouse, London and included positions in a listed FMCG company and private investment offices. Throughout this time, he has maintained links with education with teaching stints including Leicester University’s MBA programme.

More recently he served as CFO of Obeikan Education involved in national curriculum development projects and partnering with Laureate Education operating vocational colleges.

He is currently CEO at Tadrees, which owns and operates K12 schools in the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia.
