• A double Master's global executive, with US & European education from leading universities.
• Highly motivated, creative and versatile with over 12 years of experience in Sales, Strategy, and Business Development leadership roles within the Global Technology/Telecoms & B2B industries.
• A vision that sees both the forest and its trees. Strong “General Management” skills allow for a multi-disciplinary, cross-functional approach to problem solving.
• Especially skilled (naturally gifted!) at building effective, long-term working relationships with C-level contacts within strategic clients' & partners' organizations.

• Outstanding Communications Skills. This is the corner stone of my leadership style.
• A commitment to the highest levels of Professional & Personal ethics. I pride myself of being an ethical winner!
I am part of a core group of senior executives who are pushing Etisalat into the Top 10 global Telecoms operators list through synergy identification & planning, alliance building, and aggressive integration of all 17 OpCos within our international portfolio, all across the emerging markets.
Leveraging a carefully-crafted strategy, I:
• Provide leadership & direction for the implementation of strategic plans to achieve the integrated functioning of the International Wholesale & Carrier Services operations to support the strategic targets of the Etisalat group of OpCos (15 subsidiaries).
• Lead in identifying synergies and monitoring Group-wide operations to support the overall operational and revenue goals of the group.
• Manage, guide and support both the internal and external interfaces with Etisalat subsidiaries as well as International operators, agencies and alliance partners.
I lead the Group International Roaming function and develop commercial strategies, Operations Control & Monitoring processes, and Performance Management Systems that deliver on the promise of a global Top 10 Telco. I identify, create, and develop synergy opportunities to maximize the Group's overall value delivered to shareholders from the existing portfolio of mobile operators.
I also lead the development of Etisalat's global strategic partnerships with the world's Top 20 Mobile groups, across Etisalat's Operating footprint (14 mobile operators).
