Laila Al Hammadi

Laila Al Hammadi serves as Vice President of Strategic Partnerships and Institutional Relations at WaneGlobal, where she leads the firm's engagement with institutional counterparts, sovereign wealth funds, and strategic partners across the Gulf and international markets.

Prior to joining WaneGlobal, Laila held a Vice President position at Al Rajhi Capital, one of Saudi Arabia's leading investment banking institutions and a cornerstone of the Kingdom's capital markets ecosystem.

At WaneGlobal, Laila applies this institutional expertise to developing and maintaining the firm's relationships with key partners, co-investors, and institutional stakeholders across the Gulf, Africa, and North America — playing a central role in WaneGlobal's positioning at the intersection of global capital and high-growth markets.
