Naif Al-Obaidallah

Naif Al-Obaidallah is the Co-Founder and CEO of SDM, a Saudi deep-tech startup advancing AI for the early detection, prevention, and follow-up of chronic and systemic diseases. He brings a background in investments and finance built across leading institutions in the United States and Saudi Arabia. In the US, he developed expertise in capital markets and investment analysis; he later joined a Public Investment Fund (PIF)-owned investment company, contributing to large-scale investment strategy at the center of the Kingdom's economic transformation. That vantage point shaped his conviction that the next frontier of value lies at the intersection of deep technology and human health. Under his leadership, SDM builds clinically grounded AI tools that help patients and providers catch disease earlier, intervene smarter, and follow through with confidence, advancing Saudi Arabia's Vision 2030 ambition to transform healthcare and become a global hub for deep-tech innovation
