Turning Strategic Vision
into Measurable Impact

Over the past 20 years, I’ve led marketing transformation at enterprise scale: as a CMO driving 40% engagement lifts and 35% conversion boosts, as a strategic advisor guiding 100+ organizations across Egypt and MENA, and as a researcher spending 2+ years analyzing companies to understand what determines AI adoption success.

My DBA research revealed that 59% of AI adoption success depends on Strategic Value Conviction — what your leadership believes about AI’s strategic importance.

I bring academic rigor (DBA research with statistical validation), real-world execution (20+ years as a strategic leader), MENA market expertise, and an independent perspective with no vendor agenda.
