Description

Executive Advisor with 15+ years enabling CIOs and Boards to drive clarity, governance and measurable impact across complex technology environments. I specialize in bridging strategy and execution across AI, data, cloud, cybersecurity and operating models in multi-country and highly regulated contexts.

Known for a Use Case–driven, vendor-agnostic approach, I turn fragmented portfolios and legacy landscapes into structured transformation with clear ownership, risk controls and performance visibility. I work with leadership teams to convert strategic intent into governance, measurable outcomes and execution that scales across entities.

I have led major transformation programs across financial services, aerospace, public institutions and international organizations, strengthening resilience, compliance and value realization for environments up to 80,000 users. My experience spans data and AI governance (PDPL/GDPR/ISO), cloud and infrastructure modernization, cyber resilience, digital workplace transformation, portfolio rationalization and PMO/Transformation Office setup.

Certified PMP, CISA, ISO 27001 Lead Implementer and Microsoft 365 Expert, with an MBA and an international background across Europe and MENA.

Based in Dubai and available for executive mandates, transformation leadership or advisory partnerships across the UAE and GCC.
