Waleed Arkanji
Head of Product at Resal
I’m Waleed Arkanji — Head of Product at Resal, where we’re building programmable financial infrastructure for the non-cash economy across Saudi Arabia and the Gulf.
I believe that complexity hides truth, and that simplicity reveals it. This shapes how I build products, lead teams, and think about problems.
This blog is my Batcave — a quiet space for thinking out loud about product management, design philosophy, and the mindset behind building things that matter.
What I Write About
Product Management — How to decide what to build (and what not to). Prioritization, customer-first thinking, and the discipline of simplicity.
Mindset — The inner game of building. Focus, clarity, and working from first principles.
Design — Not how things look, but how they work. The intersection of beauty and function.
