Procurement & Customer Success leader with 14+ yrs driving P2P transformation and enterprise onboarding at AWS across EMEA, APAC, Americas.
What I'm looking for
I’m a B2B Technology, Business Development and Procurement Transformation professional with 14 years of international experience spanning enterprise technology, payments and POS, strategic sourcing, digital procurement, customer relationships and project delivery across North America, the Middle East and global markets.
Currently at Amazon Web Services (AWS), I lead a team supporting global enterprise technology integrations across Coupa, SAP Ariba and other procurement platforms. My work focuses on improving the customer experience, automating invoice and purchase-order processes, enabling enterprise adoption and delivering measurable business outcomes across EMEA, APAC and the Americas.
My career also includes hands-on B2B sales and payments experience. As an independent Business Development Manager working with First Data and Elavon, I sold POS and payment-processing solutions to businesses in Toronto. Using a consultative approach, I assessed customer requirements and recommended the most appropriate payment solution, acquiring approximately 35–40 customers and generating more than $1M in business.
Previously at McCain Foods, I supported the global transformation of Procure-to-Pay operations from SAP ECC to Coupa, enabling 200+ vendors and working across procurement technology, supplier enablement, IT procurement and Contract Lifecycle Management. Earlier in my career with Al Mulla Engineering in Kuwait, I combined project delivery with commercial responsibility, negotiating and closing six B2B projects worth more than $7.5M.
I hold an MBA from the Schulich School of Business and a degree in Mechanical Engineering. This combination of commercial, technical and operational experience allows me to understand complex business requirements, build trusted relationships and translate technology into measurable customer and business value.
I’m particularly interested in opportunities at the intersection of B2B technology, fintech and payments, business development, strategic partnerships, digital procurement and enterprise transformation.
