Mohy Shams — CEO
In my career, I discovered my motivation lies in positively impacting people, witnessing their growth, and helping them thrive. A transformative moment in May 2009 ignited my lifelong quest to understand 'my why', and this is why I have a clear understanding of the desired results in the six domains of my life. I'm committed to leading a purpose-driven life, and I strive to approach everything I do with passion and clarity. I am curious by nature and ask a lot of questions, which is why I have an obsession with self-development with my nose often buried in reading books or attending workshops. At Gartner, I’ve achieved the highest accolade of sales success in every role (top 1%), achieving 4 Eagle awards, 'Excellence in Leadership' award thrice ('17, '19, '23), and the Global Top Achiever award in 2018. Currently, I hold a sales leadership role, fostering a high-performance sales culture across emerging markets serving 9 countries across Middle East, Africa & India. I expect those who work with me to hold me accountable to deliver exceptional work, just as I do with them. Over the last 16+ years, I've learned that a great team starts with hiring exceptional people who are purpose-driven, curious, quick learners, disciplined and always find a solution. The legacy I wish to leave behind is to have adding more value to others' lives and helping people of all backgrounds exceed their goals. My role at Gartner empowers me to make this vision a reality, and my ‘secret’ mission is to serve humanity through resourceful ways. I am honored to be the Executive Sponsor for Gartner CSR across Middle East, which allows me to fulfil my passion of serving humanity. I offer exclusive 1:1 coaching services designed for sales professionals aiming to achieve consistent performance, aspiring leaders preparing for the next step, and current sales managers seeking clarity and edge in their role. My coaching focuses on breaking through mindset barriers, sharpening strategy, and unlocking individual strengths to drive tangible growth. This is a tailored, results oriented approach crafted to help you lead with confidence and deliver impact. If you’re interested, book a discovery call.
