Introduction
I help Chairmen, C‑levels, and boards turn ambitious transformation mandates into measurable enterprise value by applying AI, digital platforms, and operating‑model redesign. With more than two decades of leadership experience, I have delivered strategic operating‑model design, digital roadmaps, and business‑model reinvention for global companies across Aviation, Defence, FMCG, Logistics, Luxury Goods, Manufacturing, Mining, Real Estate, and Oil & Gas. I am trusted across the GCC, Europe, and APAC to architect multi‑sector transformation programmes exceeding $15M in value. What differentiates my mandate is a rare architectural duality. I combine a foundational background as an AI‑focused Computer Science Engineer with deep operational excellence through APICS CPIM and Six Sigma Green Belt credentials, reinforced by broad multi‑industry exposure. This blend enables me to identify synergistic best practices, drive innovation, and lead transformation programmes end to end, from strategy through execution, to deliver measurable EBITDA impact. 𝗖𝗼𝗿𝗲 𝗖𝗮𝗽𝗮𝗯𝗶𝗹𝗶𝘁𝗶𝗲𝘀 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝗦𝘁𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗲𝗴𝗶𝗰 𝗙𝗼𝗰𝘂𝘀: • Leadership Advisory and Strategy: Enterprise value creation, roadmap acceleration, post‑merger integration, and governance. • Digital Ecosystem Architecture: APS, BIM, CAD, CDE, ERP, Digital Twins, PMIS, and decision‑intelligence systems. • Operational Excellence: Future‑state operating‑model redesign delivering 15% efficiency gains, headcount optimisation, and multi‑million‑dollar capital cost containment. • Commercial and Consulting Practice Leadership: Building and scaling consulting and commercial practices; designing GTM strategies, value‑based offerings, consultative selling, and partner ecosystems that unlock more than $100M in qualified pipelines. 𝗦𝗲𝗹𝗲𝗰𝘁𝗲𝗱 𝗔𝗰𝗵𝗶𝗲𝘃𝗲𝗺𝗲𝗻𝘁𝘀: • $50M+ inventory optimisation and $20M+ procurement savings • $8M net benefits and 10–15% efficiency gains through BIM, Digital Twin, and AI adoption • Transformation portfolios exceeding $15M • 105 FTE savings through operating‑model redesign • 25% mining asset NPV uplift through AI‑enabled optimisation • $100M+ in qualified pipeline and $57M in enterprise deal closures Based in the UAE with a global footprint across the GCC, APAC, and Europe, I support organisations requiring rapid transformation acceleration and high‑impact leadership intervention. I deliver select fractional C‑suite advisory mandates and speak regularly at industry summits and executive forums on AI‑enabled operating models, digital transformation, and supply‑chain innovation.
