About me

I help organizations turn strategy into something they can measure, govern and act on.

I started my career in 2007 as an RF engineer in India, first with GTL Limited in Bangalore and then with Prithvi Information Solutions in Hyderabad, drive-testing and optimizing GSM, CDMA and WCDMA networks. It was hands-on, detail-heavy work, and it was my first lesson in how much depends on measuring the right things accurately.

In 2009 I joined Saudi Telecom Company (STC) in Jeddah, where I spent more than fourteen years in network performance management. The role grew with me: from performance reporting across 2G to 5G radio and core networks, into designing and governing KPI frameworks, managing vendor performance, and owning the Power BI reporting that leadership relied on, including during Hajj, Ramadan and emergency operations.

In 2024 I moved to Riyadh, first building KPI and SLA reporting solutions at WAKEB Data, and then joining Tahakom as a Performance Management Consultant. Today I lead performance management and KPI governance for the AI & Advanced Technology Sector: cascading strategy into director-level KPIs and OKRs, running executive performance reviews, governing IT service performance, and automating the reporting behind it.

Alongside my work, I am completing an MBA in Business Analytics, to deepen the analytical side of what I do.

How I work

Every measure traces back to strategy

A KPI earns its place only when it has a clear line of sight to an objective leadership has agreed on.

Definitions before dashboards

Clear definitions, baselines, targets, evidence standards and owners come first. A well-designed chart cannot fix a poorly defined measure.

Reporting should lead to action

Performance reviews matter when they produce decisions, and corrective actions are tracked through to closure.

Automate the routine

Automating data collection and distribution frees time for what matters: understanding the numbers and acting on them.
