Seasoned Technical Delivery Head and Program Lead driving large-scale digital transformation.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned Program Lead and Technical Delivery Head with 20+ years delivering complex digital engineering and transformation programs across the UAE, North America, London, Europe, and APAC. I align platform builds with product vision, engineering excellence, and measurable business outcomes.
I have led multi-year, large-scale programs for clients in e-commerce, banking and finance, energy trading and risk management, and government pilots—driving cloud-native architectures, DevOps practices, API-led integrations, and data platforms while instituting governance and agile practices at scale.
My leadership delivered measurable results: major e‑commerce upgrades for Carrefour, a CMS launch that drastically reduced page launch times, the Thailand Gold marketplace rollout, Chevron ATLAS releases across global hubs, and the PEAK energy pilot that reduced consumption by 4%. I coach teams, manage stakeholder and vendor ecosystems, and embed continuous improvement to sustain long-term value.
