About

Directing programs where failure
is not an option

I lead complex, multi-phase technology transformations where the stakes are national, the budgets are nine figures, and the margin for error is zero. From building NEOM's AI Cloud backbone on Huawei Cloud Stack to delivering mission-critical infrastructure for Qatar's FIFA World Cup 2022 sites — I operate at the intersection of executive strategy and technical depth.

My leadership spans cloud architecture, cybersecurity governance, multi-vendor ecosystems, and the financial discipline required to govern SAR 700M+ portfolios with precision. I don't just manage programs — I build the systems, teams, and frameworks that outlast them.
