Abdulmajeed Alsukhan is a prominent Saudi Arabian business leader who built the first fintech “unicorn” in Saudi Arabia as the CEO & Co-founder of TAMARA — the leading “Buy Now, Pay Later” (BNPL) fintech overthere. He holds a Bachelor’s in Financial Economics from California State University, Northridge, and a Master’s in Economic Policy from Boston University. Driven by a deep-seated belief that financial access should be a right, not a privilege, he co-founded Tamara in 2020 with Turki Bin Zarah and Abdulmohsen Al Babtain—amidst a global pandemic—to offer Sharia-compliant installment payment solutions for online and in-store shopping. His story is one of relentless “impact-first” entrepreneurship, moving from the success of his first logistics startup, Habli, to creating a platform that empowers tens of thousands of local merchants and provides financial flexibility to over 20 million users. Today, as Tamara transitions from a startup to a regional financial institution, Abdulmajeed stands as a beacon for a new generation of Saudi founders, proving that with bold technical innovation and a commitment to Vision 2030, a local idea can redefine the economic landscape of the entire Middle East.
