About

Leadership in Solutions Architecture

Over 15+ years, I have built an extensive track record in technical sales of cloud, security, and networking technologies, closing numerous opportunities through direct customer engagement across diverse industries, segments, and geographies. My work has spanned managing senior solutions architects, global technical communities, and strategic global programs. I have collaborated with product teams to influence roadmaps and enhance customer experience while also demonstrating thought leadership through public speaking engagements.

I currently work for AWS, and based in Dubai with my spouse and my little fellow Joud ^^

If you are a professional who is interested in edge technologies (CDNs, performance, DDoS, Bots, WAF), in developing skills as a Solutions Architect, or seeking insights from leadership experiences, follow me on Linkedin.
