About

Technology hiring across the GCC has evolved significantly in recent years. Organizations today require not only skilled professionals, but the right talent aligned with business goals, regulatory frameworks, and digital transformation initiatives. I specialize in IT Talent Acquisition across KSA, UAE, and Egypt, supporting Government entities, Multinationals, and Enterprise Vendors in hiring high-impact technology professionals within complex and fast-growing environments. My recruitment focus covers a wide spectrum of technologies, including: • Cloud Architecture (AWS, Azure, GCP) • DevOps & Platform Engineering • Cybersecurity (IAM, PAM, PKI, SOC, GRC) • Network Security & Datacenter Infrastructure • Disaster Recovery & Business Continuity • Data Privacy & Governance • Enterprise Applications (SAP, Oracle) • Enterprise & Solutions Architecture • IoT & Smart Solutions • Infrastructure Modernization • Virtualization & HCI (Nutanix, VMware) • Database & Data Engineering • AI, Automation & Emerging Technologies I work closely with hiring managers and leadership teams to: ✔ Identify scarce technical skill sets ✔ Map market availability across the GCC ✔ Reduce time-to-hire for specialized roles ✔ Ensure long-term cultural and technical fit Over the years, I have successfully supported the hiring of professionals across Software, Cloud, Cybersecurity, Infrastructure, Enterprise Applications, and Emerging Technologies — enabling organizations to build strong, future-ready technology teams. My approach is simple: Understand the business. Understand the technology. Match both with the right talent.
