I’m an accomplished CIO with more than 25 years of experience leading enterprise-wide digital transformation, cybersecurity programs, and ERP modernization initiatives. Serving as the Group IT Director for Watania for Industries (WFI), I oversee the organization’s Information Technology function, including infrastructure, SAP S/4HANA, cloud strategy, cybersecurity governance, and enterprise applications.
Throughout my career, I have managed large-scale digital initiatives, including modernization of IT architectures, adoption of hybrid and cloud environments, and implementation of Zero-Trust cybersecurity frameworks. I led the end-to-end management of SAP S/4HANA across Finance, Manufacturing, Supply Chain, HR, and VRM, driving measurable efficiency improvements and enabling data-driven decision-making across the organization.
As a strategic leadership, I have built and mentored high-performing IT teams, enhanced operational resilience, and implemented governance structures that improved productivity and significantly reduced operational risk.
