I help leaders and organizations navigate transformation under pressure. Over 23+ years, I've worked the full arc of delivery from writing code and architecting systems to leading programs, products, and enterprise-wide transformations. That delivery foundation is why my transformation work produces outcomes, not blueprints: I've operated in 12 countries across 11 sectors, including telecom, banking, fintech, digital government, logistics, and oil & gas, with clients such as stc, Vodafone, Orange, Arab Bank, Dell Technologies, and Fawry. As Head of Agile Practice and AI Unit at VIDSCOLA, I led the delivery of transformation, capability building, and AI readiness for enterprise clients across the region. I train and coach at scale: 100+ programs delivered to 2,000+ professionals (NPS 85), as an authorized instructor for Scrum Alliance, ICAgile, Kanban University, DASA, and SAFe, and the first Arabic speaker recognized by Scrum Alliance as a CSD Educator. My executive coaching combines ICF-accredited practice, John Mattone's Intelligent Leadership, and Hogan psychometric assessment to help leaders build effective teams and drive lasting change. I'm currently deepening this with a Master's in Human Psychology (LJMU). If you're leading a transformation that has to deliver, let's talk.

My engagements encompass enterprise transformation design and governance, as well as executive and team coaching.
As a founder of Agile Camp, my motivation stems from a deep passion for Agile methodologies and a strong belief in their transformative power.

The tagline, "Embrace Agility, Empower Success," captures the core philosophy of Agile Camp. It serves as a constant reminder of the potential that Agile methodologies hold in driving individual and organizational success. We firmly believe that by embracing agility, we can unlock our true potential, adapt to change with ease, and ultimately achieve greater success in our endeavors. My motivation lies in creating a platform where individuals can connect, learn, and find inspiration. I want to share my knowledge and experiences and learn from others in return. Agile Camp provides a unique opportunity to bring together a community of passionate individuals who are dedicated to advancing Agile practices and creating a future where agility and innovation thrive.
