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.

I keep hiring for my company and for other companies as well and I too agree that Aman Gupta said "Gen Z doesn't work for money ONLY". 

I believe....
They work for HAPPINESS 
They work for EXPERIENCE 
They work for RECOGNITION 
They work for SATISFACTION 

Just to make them work for 10-7, doesn't work in today's world. 

If work is done in 3 hours or 4 hours, why should you be in the office for another 3 hours just to impress the boss. 

If you understand your employees, they will understand you too. They will work for you late nights as well when it is required. I have seen employees do the same. 

What do you think?
Whats your experience with GenZ's?

If you are making these mistakes then LinkedIn isnt for you.

Because the way you are handling LinkedIn is totally wrong.

Don't copy your resume and paste on Linkedin. Be yourself. Talk about your achievements. Talk with numbers. 

Experience sections need to be well sorted and not a cut copy paste of a JD.

So, if you are looking for a job then you have other options as well along with LinkedIn.

I’d love to see that chart move in the opposite direction next year.

But if it doesn’t…
hope won’t protect your career.

Here’s the thing.
There’s no such thing as corporate loyalty anymore.
What does exist is personal leverage.

So if I were future-proofing myself for 2026, I’d start here 👇

4 things I’d do immediately

1️⃣ Build visible leverage
If your impact only lives inside your company, your leverage is limited.

Create demand outside your org.
Write. Speak. Teach. Share insights on LinkedIn. Start a channel if that’s your style.

The goal isn’t popularity.
The goal is to look in demand.

2️⃣ Own a scarce problem space
Don’t just be competent.
Be known for solving problems most people struggle with or avoid.

High-difficulty + high-visibility problems compound reputation fast.

3️⃣ Attach yourself to revenue or critical business
Cost centers get trimmed first. Every single time.

Make sure your work clearly protects revenue, grows revenue, or de-risks the business.
If not revenue, align with critical teams like legal, risk, safety, compliance.

Be essential, not convenient.

4️⃣ Build cross-company advocates
One sponsor is fragile.
Five strong allies across teams create insulation.

Invest early. Mentors. 1:1s. Communities.
Relationships built before a crisis matter most.

That’s where I’d start.

Now I’m curious.
What would you add to this list?
What’s actually helped you stay relevant when things got uncertain?

Let’s make this useful for 2026.

I was scrolling through the news today and something unexpected made me stop.

Not the billion-dollar story.
A leadership piece did.

And not because it was flashy.
Because it quietly pointed to a problem most leaders don’t notice.

Here’s the thing.

We often blame leadership gaps on weak strategy or poor execution.
But many of those failures begin much earlier.

At communication.

Most leaders still depend on long emails, heavy slides, and detailed explanations.
Then they’re surprised when teams feel confused, disengaged, or misaligned.

What stood out to me was this simple truth:

People aren’t struggling because they lack intelligence.
They’re struggling because we overload them.

Visuals aren’t decoration anymore.
They’re clarity tools.

A rough sketch can replace a five-page email.
A short video can build trust faster than a formal note.
One clear chart can end conversations words keep dragging on.

What this really means is…

Leadership today isn’t about saying more.
It’s about making things easier to understand.

Clarity is visible.

If your idea can’t be shown simply, it probably isn’t ready yet.

So here’s a question worth sitting with:

Where do people keep asking you the same thing again and again?

That’s not resistance.
That’s a signal.

Maybe the next leadership upgrade isn’t a new framework.

Maybe it’s the courage to simplify.

Small disciplines repeated with consistency every day lead to great achievements. 

Follow it thoroughly 😊

10 days into the year.
And no, my work week hasn’t gone full throttle yet.

That’s intentional.

Before chasing fresh plans for the next few days, weeks, and months, I needed to pause and look back. Last year had lessons I don’t want to repeat or ignore.

Here’s what last year taught me, clearly and without romance:

• Starting fast doesn’t mean finishing strong
• Saying yes too quickly creates silent stress later
• Consistency beats occasional bursts of motivation
• Energy management matters more than time management
• Not every opportunity deserves my calendar
• Rest is not a reward, it’s a requirement
• Clarity comes from reflection, not rushing
• What worked once won’t always work again
• Progress looks boring when it’s done right
• Alignment matters more than applause

What this really means is this:
I’m not behind. I’m recalibrating.

This year doesn’t need dramatic announcements.
It needs better decisions, made repeatedly.

If your year hasn’t “started” yet, maybe you’re doing it right.

What did last year teach you that you’re carrying forward?

Here’s the uncomfortable truth:
If you’re not using AI on LinkedIn, you’re competing at half capacity.

And no, AI is not a shortcut.

Most people think AI means doing less work.
Wrong.

AI is about doing better thinking, faster.

Here’s what I see with clients every single day:

They don’t use AI to “write posts.”

They use it to:
- Untangle messy thoughts
- Sharpen their positioning
- Improve hooks and storytelling
- Repurpose strong ideas without burning out

What this really means is…
AI doesn’t replace you.
It removes friction.

Your ideas are already good.
AI just:
- Speeds them up
- Makes them clearer
- Helps them land better

Meanwhile, people who avoid AI are:
- Thinking alone for hours
- Rewriting the same post five times
- Guessing what might work

Others?
They’re iterating faster.

Here’s the thing most people overcomplicate:
You don’t need fancy prompts.

Start simple.

“Make this clearer.”

“What’s missing here?”

“How would this land emotionally?”

That’s enough.

The real question isn’t whether you use AI.
It’s this:

Are you using AI to replace effort…
or to upgrade your thinking?

If this hit home, you already know the answer.

AI is the present and Future... Learn it

I read 100s of LinkedIn About section.
And honestly, it said out loud what most profiles quietly get wrong.

Here’s the thing.

People don’t come to your profile to admire your adjectives.
“Strategic.” “Passionate.” “Results-driven.”
They’ve already seen that a hundred times today.

What they’re actually checking is this:
Who are you really… and what would it feel like to work with you?

Your About section isn’t a resume summary.
It’s a signal.

✓ A small story.
✓ A moment.
✓ A way of thinking.

Because no one remembers your job title for long.
They remember how you made sense.
How you showed character, not just competence.

So if you’re rewriting your About this year, ask yourself:

✓ Who do I actually want reading this?
✓ What part of me matters to them?
✓ What do I want them to feel when they reach the end?

There’s already a story in your career that answers all three.

Most people just bury it under bullet points.

Maybe it’s time to let it speak.

What do you think, does it cover everything or needs some more information?

If NetaJi had LinkedIn 

A candidate was offered with a promotion. He replied 'Not Interested'. But do you know Why?

When asked why, he said something unexpected:
“I’ve already made it to the top.”

On paper, that made no sense.
No senior designation. No corner office. No spotlight.

But his version of “the top” looked like this:

• He enjoyed the work he did every day
• He felt respected, not managed
• He earned enough to live comfortably
• He had flexibility over his time
• He never missed a school play, a match, a birthday, or an anniversary

He knew what the next step would demand.
More hours. More travel. More absence.

He chose presence.

“Not worth it,” he said.

Here’s the shift most people are quietly making:

The comfort zone isn’t always fear.
Sometimes, it’s clarity.

Satisfaction isn’t settling.
Sometimes, it’s knowing what you already have.

For years, success was loud: Titles. Money. Speed. Glamour.

Today, success is becoming quieter: Peace. Time. Enough. Alignment.

What this really means is simple: Not everyone wants the same version of “more.”

Ambition isn’t wrong.
Growth isn’t overrated.

But choosing contentment isn’t failure.

Success is changing.
And the smartest people I know define it for themselves. 

How are you defining success for yourself? My answer is in the comment.

- Build long-term authority on LinkedIn

I typically work with:

My approach to LinkedIn branding is deliberate and long-term.
- The goal is not to perform on the platform—but to be understood on it.
