• As Senior Vice President - Sales for the Middle East at Halian, I lead our regional contract recruitment strategy across all technology verticals—from cybersecurity and cloud architecture to data science, software engineering, and emerging tech like AI and blockchain. With over a decade of experience in high-growth sales environments, I specialise in building scalable recruitment solutions that deliver speed, quality, and compliance for enterprise clients.
• My career has been defined by winning volume-based deals with leading banks, global vendors and regional innovators. I’ve built and led high-performing teams that exceed targets, drive client retention, and expand market share across the UAE, KSA, and wider GCC.
• At Halian, I’ve helped shape our go-to-market strategy for contract hiring, ensuring we remain agile and responsive to client needs—whether it's deploying squads of developers, scaling data teams, or supporting transformation programmes. I work closely with business leaders (technology, procurement, HR) to deliver talent solutions that align with business goals.
