I build enterprise security, crisis management, and business continuity programs across MENA organizations.

Egypt

Message

I've built security and resilience functions for Dr. Greiche for Glass, Afreximbank, Nile Air, MBC Group, and FedEx across Egypt, the GCC, and MENA. I lead enterprise security strategy, crisis response, business continuity, government relations, and major security technology programs.

At Afreximbank, I architected an ISO 22301 business continuity framework that reduced critical-function downtime by 15% and sustained 100% audit compliance. As Secretary to the Crisis Management Committee, I helped steer executive decisions through COVID-19 and regional geopolitical disruptions while keeping core operations running.

I've reduced security incidents by 25% at MBC Group, achieved 100% ICAO Annex 17 compliance at Nile Air, and cut shipment loss by 30% across 43 FedEx facilities. My eight years in Egypt's Ministry of Interior, culminating as Deputy Chief of Fraud & Theft Investigations, underpin my practical approach to investigations, risk, and operational leadership.
