Always Leave a Legacy

My decade of teaching and research at U.S. universities complements my industry experience, allowing me to bridge theoretical concepts with practical applications. With over 35 years at the forefront of the ICT sector, including 25 years in C-level positions, I bring a wealth of experience in bridging cutting-edge technologies with strategic business objectives. My journey spans from founding the first ISP in Louisiana (1986) to pioneering blockchain solutions in Saudi Arabia (2016) and building a financial literacy payment app (2020).

Guided by the principle “Success is Leaving an Impact,” I leverage my extensive experience to foster innovation that drives both business growth and social progress.

Though in my sixties, I remain youthful and vigorous, with an undiminished passion for technology and its world-reshaping potential. I eagerly seek collaboration with forward-thinking individuals and organizations to tackle the challenges and seize the opportunities in our rapidly evolving digital landscape.

Let’s connect and explore how we can harness the power of technology to create a better future for businesses and society alike.
