AI that never leaves the pilot
I take use cases from idea to production, then measure them. At NADEC, six AI solutions are live: three I originated and three I took over and run.

AI that runs in production, not in slide decks.
I'm a data, analytics and AI leader in Saudi Arabia. I take use cases from idea to production and measure what they return: five years turning SABIC Finance's manual work into measured savings, and since July 2026, leading NADEC's shift from report delivery to a governed Data & AI function.
What I'm brought in to solve
Finance teams buried in manual work
I replace manual preparation with automation and machine learning, and keep the exceptions visible for review. At SABIC, one of those builds avoided USD 4M in vendor costs.
Read the storyAnalytics without priorities or trust
I decide what goes first by business value, and make the numbers provable. A seven-criteria model ranks NADEC's initiatives; 3,000+ analytics assets were validated for S/4HANA at SABIC.

How I decide what gets built
NADEC's initiatives are ranked on seven weighted criteria. Leadership adopted the model, and business impact and cost savings carry half the weight.
Five more criteria share the remaining 50%
