About

I am a Delivery Transformation Leader with 26+ years of experience in IT and Telecom, specializing in leading large-scale, multi-million-dollar programs and building high-performing delivery organizations. Currently at Ericsson, I head the BSS Factory Delivery Unit for Middle East & Africa, managing a portfolio of $6–7M, overseeing 50+ projects and leading 100+ professionals across geographies. My work focuses on driving delivery excellence, scaling factory models, and ensuring predictable, high-quality outcomes for global customers. In parallel, I lead a strategic, first-of-its-kind BSS transformation program involving migration from legacy systems to next-generation platforms, managing complex multi-vendor and multi-stream delivery environments. My core strengths include escalation management, stakeholder engagement, delivery governance, 3PP management and transformation execution. I take pride in building strong teams, solving complex delivery challenges, and consistently delivering value in high-pressure environments. Over the years, I have been recognized with multiple leadership awards, including the Key Contribution Award (2025), for driving impactful delivery outcomes.
