About

Winning the Prime Minister's Medal for Distinguished Director General at the fifth edition of Mohammed bin Rashid Government Excellence Award makes me feel honored for my dedication of two decades in government leadership and management in the UAE and humbles me to do more in the area of public service. I have supported several re-engineering initiatives that have helped organizations meet their strategic goals and drive significant business growth. I have also driven several national-level IT and ICT projects to success. I have a passion for innovation and can vouch for acute analytical and negotiation skills.
