The future of international development lies at the intersection of rapid technological change and sustainable economic policy. I operate at the convergence of these two worlds. My expertise connects the immediate demands of humanitarian response with the long-term strategic goals of economic development and regional integration. I help international organizations bridge the gap between technical possibility and policy reality.

With over a decade of experience across the United Nations system, I have transitioned from leading digital response in complex humanitarian emergencies to shaping high-level digital economy frameworks at the regional commission level. My work now focuses on the United Nations Economic and Social Commission for Western Asia (UNESCWA) mandates. I align Artificial Intelligence and digital transformation strategies with the Arab Digital Agenda to drive socio-economic resilience and accelerate the Sustainable Development Goals.


AI Governance & Economic Development: I architect governance frameworks that enable nations and institutions to harness AI for economic growth while mitigating risk. Moving beyond theory, I lead the implementation of secure AI systems that support evidence-based policymaking and economic forecasting. My approach ensures that digital innovation directly contributes to national development plans and regional economic integration.

True sustainability requires connecting emergency response with long-term development. I possess deep experience navigating this nexus. I translate the agility required for humanitarian field operations into the robust policy structures needed for development agencies. I foster data interoperability between diverse stakeholders to ensure that digital investments yield lasting economic benefits for the region.

Digital Trust & Cybersecurity Leadership Innovation cannot exist without security. Holding CISSP, CISM, and CISA credentials, I integrate security by design into national and organizational technology roadmaps. I provide high-level advisory on cyber resilience to protect critical digital infrastructure and data sovereignty. This ensures that the digital economy is built on a foundation of trust and compliance.

 Digital transformation is fundamentally about people and culture. I act as a translator between technical engineering teams and senior political leadership. I cultivate data-driven cultures that empower decision-makers to utilize advanced analytics for resource allocation and strategic planning.
