About

I’m a digital product and revenue leader with 20+ years driving growth and transformation across Qatar Airways, Dubai Airports, Emirates, Etihad, and JP Morgan. I specialise in turning customer data, AI/ML, and experimentation into measurable outcomes – from billion‑dollar airline portfolios to enterprise digital workplace platforms. Today, I work as a freelance consultant, helping organizations in travel, hospitality, banking, telecom and adjacent sectors design and validate AI-powered use cases: demand forecasting, revenue & margin optimization, cancellation and churn risk, and customer experience personalization. These are the same problems I solved inside airlines and banks, now applied across multiple clients. I am actively open to VP/Senior level roles in product, digital experience, or AI‑driven transformation, where I can bring this blend of enterprise execution, data-driven decisioning, and hands-on AI experimentation into a larger team. I’m based in Dubai and open to GCC/remote leadership roles.
