What I'm looking for

I seek senior roles driving enterprise digital transformation, AI-enabled platforms, and architecture leadership in mission-driven organizations focused on measurable growth and ethical data practices.

I am a seasoned digital transformation and enterprise architecture leader with 27 years of experience delivering AI-powered platforms and measurable business impact across financial services.

At Al Rajhi Takaful I led modernization initiatives that drove 300% digital channel adoption, scaled technical teams rapidly, and implemented DevOps practices to sustain high availability and frequent deployments.

Previously at IBM I delivered architecture redesigns and governance that improved system performance by 40%, managed end-to-end P&L responsibilities, and led global delivery and transformation programs.

I blend technical depth in cloud, microservices, data science and AI with strong program delivery, stakeholder engagement and ethical data governance to enable sustainable growth aligned to strategic objectives such as Vision 2030.
