Background

18+ years across IT operations, infrastructure and technology management.

I have worked across infrastructure, systems administration, networking, Microsoft environments, cybersecurity, backup, business continuity, technical support, vendor management and technology projects.

Since 2012, I have held IT management leadership responsibilities across Nakhal & Cie and Wings of Lebanon, alongside project-based consulting work with LINC Consulting and earlier outsourced enterprise support and technical engineering roles.

My approach is practical: understand the business need first, identify the real operational or security risk, and then recommend technology that is appropriate for the organization’s size, budget and priorities.

Core Expertise

Where I bring the most value.

Operational ownership, planning, prioritization, policy development, vendor coordination and ongoing technology oversight.

Administration, email, licensing, user access, collaboration and practical security controls.

Servers, virtualization, networks, Wi-Fi, firewalls, modernization planning and troubleshooting.

Requirements, evaluation, procurement, implementation coordination, testing and follow-up.

Representative Responsibilities

Experience built through responsibility for live business environments.

Much of my experience comes from ongoing responsibility for systems that businesses depend on every day, not only isolated technology projects.

Business-Critical Infrastructure & Continuity

Responsibility for server, network and business-system availability, maintenance planning, backup, recovery and continuity.

Working Style

Direct, practical and accountable.

I prefer clear ownership, documented decisions and measurable follow-up. I work directly with business owners, managers, internal teams and technology providers to keep projects and day-to-day IT aligned with operational priorities.

Technology should reduce friction and risk — not create another layer of complexity for the business.
