About

I lead the MuleSoft business across key Middle East markets, partnering with enterprise and public sector leaders to make their data AI-ready. My focus is taking fragmented, legacy systems and turning them into secure, governed data pipelines. We ensure the information feeding into AI models is clean, integrated, and highly trusted. Beyond technology, my role is to scale high-performing teams, build robust partner ecosystems, and deliver reliable revenue growth across the region.
