About

Cross-functional operations leader who managed six departments and led a first-time international expansion from Dubai into Riyadh, including hiring a Saudi GRO to navigate registrations/licensing and local requirements. Implemented a BI dashboard and later integrated it with an ERP to give executives real-time visibility into sales, project delivery, and finance, and stood up a PMO to improve delivery and collections while reducing sales-to-delivery friction.
