About
Awarded Corporate Counsel of the Year by the DIFC Academy of Law in 2018 and recognized by the Legal 500, I hold an LLB from Alexandria University and have been a licensed member of the Egyptian Bar Association since 2010. With over 15+ years of legal expertise, I currently serve as Senior Legal Director for Oracle in the Middle East, leading the region's legal function. My role encompasses providing strategic advice on commercial transactions, managing legal and compliance risks, and negotiating high-value agreements across enterprise and government sectors. At Oracle, I oversee a team of regional lawyers, focusing on fostering a high-performing and business-oriented legal department.
