Rami Barbarawi
@ramibarbarawi
I turn market intelligence and government priorities into scalable healthcare growth.
United Arab EmiratesWhat I'm looking for
At NMC Healthcare, I lead corporate go-to-market, market intelligence, and government-affairs work across an 80+ facility hospital network in the UAE. I translate competitive, regulatory, and demand insights into investment, portfolio, and commercialization decisions.
I've identified AED 15M+ in new service-line opportunities across mammography, AI-powered breast screening, and MRI, while building KPI and dashboard frameworks that reduced reporting turnaround by 78%.
I work directly with DOH, DHA, MOHAP, RTA, ADNOC, and Civil Defence to deliver policy-aligned healthcare programs. My cross-functional teams have implemented initiatives across Abu Dhabi, Dubai, and Sharjah, improving participation rates by 75% and supporting sustainable financial performance.
Previously, I led multi-country market-entry and commercialization consulting at EngageHill and developed GTM strategies for 25+ ICT vendors at IDC across more than 30 markets. I bring 23+ years across healthcare, ICT, government, and emerging markets to growth decisions that need both commercial clarity and public-sector alignment.
