What I'm looking for

I seek a senior presales or security architecture role where I can design Zero Trust/data protection solutions, influence security strategy, mentor teams, and drive customer outcomes in regulated environments.

I am a cybersecurity presales and solutions leader with deep experience architecting Zero Trust, data security, and IAM solutions for enterprise and government customers across Saudi Arabia and the Gulf region.

I have led presales, consulting and implementation efforts—designing data protection (tokenization, masking, encryption), SIEM, AppSec and IAM programs, producing compliance-aligned roadmaps (NCA, SAMA, ISO 27001, NIST CSF) and driving measurable revenue growth through managed security services and tailored solutions.

I partner with C-level stakeholders, delivery teams and product groups to convert technical strategy into business outcomes, run trainings and workshops, and stay current on emerging technologies such as quantum-resistant cryptography and AI-driven detection.
