Spent a decade figuring things out under various trees and in big dark rooms. Fell in love. Started to floss. Helped bring someone new to Earth. Made HireHunt. Joined AWS.

SaaS isn’t dead; it’s transforming.

I glimpsed the future after chatting with Ahmed Abdelrahman, CTO of Bayzat, the region’s top HR tech platform.

A great CTO doesn’t just follow the ball, they see where it’s going. 

Which is easier said than done in these bizarre times.

After our chat, it was clear that Ahmed has the key traits needed from tech leaders in this phase:

1- They know old playbooks won’t work anymore

They’re rewriting new ones like scientists; running experiments with AWS and
Amazon Bedrock to measure real ROI and testing innovations gradually with their 3,000+ clients.

2- They work backwards from the customer

They know that the underlying technology isn’t what matters, it’s how it helps solve a business problem for the end user. And if it doesn’t, then it shouldn't be forced as the solution.

3- They understand culture and user psychology

Every organization is a bit different, and how they navigate different company structures, cultures, and technical maturities across regions is key to providing scalable value. 

SO...I’m working on some exciting new content with Ahmed and other key technical leaders in the region, exploring how these pioneers are striking the balance between autonomy and control when integrating agents into their platforms for this brave new world.

Stay tuned...big things are coming 🚀

Real Estate Advisor (SDR)

Helping mid-size companies generate revenue through client-centric sales | Public Speaker | Outstanding Leadership Award 2023 🏆

I have a rich background in the sales industry, spanning over 7 years. 

My journey began early, in 8th grade, when I collaborated with my father, learning the art of selling and assisting in his business. 

At first, people mistook me for a new hire, but they soon realized I was his son.

My path led me through various sectors, including Direct Marketing, before transitioning into Commercial Real Estate (CRE). 

Working in CRE broadened my horizons, enabling me to engage with high-net-worth individuals and high-ticket products. 

It honed my business acumen, confidence, and leadership skills.

Despite gaining knowledge and experience, I encountered challenges. 

The absence of stable cash flow led to burnout and frustration. 

To overcome this, I sought sales training and invested in a comprehensive sales program, delving deep into sales techniques, human psychology, prospecting, and negotiation.

Armed with this knowledge, I built my own brand from scratch, earning the trust of business owners, helping them close deals and boost revenue. 

This journey resulted in $68,360 in cash collected from clients in my roles with a social media marketing agency and YouTube Automation Business.

My journey was filled with ups and downs, but each challenge brought greater rewards and impact, transforming lives along the way.

Now, I'm embarking on a new adventure. If you're looking to elevate your sales game, let's connect. 

I'm excited to share about upskilling myself with Business Intelligence Analyst skills.

Specifically MS Excel, Microsoft Power BI, MS PowerPoint, Tableau and SQL.

(Learning PowerPoint currently and will move on to Tableau and SQL).

Now I am open to exploring and navigating the intricacies of modern business.

Reach out to me on LinkedIn, and we can schedule a chat to explore how I can help you achieve your goals. 

I look forward to hearing from you soon! 🤙🏻
