I am a dynamic, results-oriented IT executive with a solid reputation as a thought leader in the delivery of large-scale, strategic SAP deployments. I manage large portfolios of diverse projects, provide strategic leadership and vision, and drive high-value solutions for clients across the Middle East.

I work collaboratively with C-level stakeholders toward clear goals, with deep strength in crisis resolution, engagement turnaround, and delivery governance. I hold a Computer Science degree (FAST ICS) and an MBA, and I am as comfortable in technical detail as I am in the boardroom.
