Open to new opportunities

Turning enterprise software into measurable outcomes.

Thirteen years across enterprise SaaS and digital strategy in MEA. I help large organisations realise value from technology - through trust, technical depth, and a stubborn focus on what actually moves the business.

Focus
Enterprise CS

I work with enterprise customers in regulated industries - governments, telecoms, banks, broadcasters - where the cost of getting it wrong is high and the appetite for theatre is low.

My focus is value realisation: structured success plans, executive business reviews, and the unglamorous discipline of making sure adoption actually translates into business outcomes the customer's board cares about.

The work I'm proudest of sits at the intersection of technical credibility and executive trust - being the person a Director can call during an incident, and the one their CFO listens to in a QBR.

Experience

Thirteen years, five companies, one trajectory.

From social media management to enterprise customer success across the MEA region.
