What I'm looking for

I'm looking to continue leading technical talent acquisition across GCC banking, fintech, managed services, and enterprise technology, partnering with stakeholders to build strong pipelines and deliver critical hires.

I've delivered technical, leadership, and executive hiring for Xpert Digital's GCC managed-services clients, closing 40+ roles across banking, fintech, enterprise technology, and digital transformation. My recruitment work has supported Dubai Islamic Bank, ADIB, Invest Bank, Sohar International Bank, Bank Albilad, Enjaz Payments, and Ejada Systems.

I've recruited software, cloud, DevOps, data, cybersecurity, QA, product, and leadership talent across UAE, Saudi Arabia, Oman, MENA, APAC, and Europe. I manage end-to-end hiring—from market mapping and passive sourcing through stakeholder partnering, offer negotiation, onboarding, and talent pipeline development—and previously hired 10 Full Stack Engineers within two months for critical delivery requirements.
