What I'm looking for

I'm seeking an Agile Program Manager, Program or Epic Manager, Product or Portfolio Manager, or Transformation/PMO role.

At ASML, I led €10M+ software initiatives supporting EUV chip-making machines, coordinating two SAFe Agile Release Trains with 200+ FTEs. I owned portfolio-epic lifecycles and aligned investment, roadmaps, and delivery with business priorities.

At Volkswagen & Audi, I owned delivery for Volkswagen Infotainment, leading two Agile teams developing capabilities for the OCU4 connectivity unit. I also coordinated a cross-border team and supported technical requirements and final acceptance testing.

At Orange Innovation, I developed IoT product roadmaps and acted as software architect for the Live Module IoT solution. I helped deliver a solution showcased at Mobile World Congress 2018, CES 2018, and Smart Industries 2018.

Earlier, at PaySky, I led teams delivering secure payment solutions and led the first successful secure payment transactions via the Accelerated Connection Platform (ACP) Interface in the Middle East. At Smart E-Government Digital Services, I led modernization of Egypt’s e-Rations card program, which saved the government more than EGP 1 billion.
