About Me

A leader who turns
IT strategy into
business results

  • A Harvard-certified, CBAP®-qualified IT executive with over 10 years of progressive leadership across multinational organisations in manufacturing, energy, and real estate. Having spanned roles from Senior Business Analyst to Head of IT, I have built and led enterprise-wide technology strategies at organisations operating across the US, Europe, and GCC — consistently bridging the gap between board-level vision and operational delivery.
  • My approach centres on aligning every technology investment to measurable business outcomes. Sustainable digital transformation is built on sound governance, rigorous process design, and people who understand why change matters. From establishing IT governance frameworks and ERP roadmaps to driving cross-functional adoption, I lead with clarity, accountability, and a bias for outcomes over activity.
  • Currently serving as Head of IT at EDAMAH — Bahrain's sovereign real estate investment company — I lead enterprise IT strategy and systems governance aligned with Bahrain Vision 2030. I am open to executive advisory, interim IT leadership, and strategic consulting engagements where I can deliver measurable impact from day one.
