Profile

I have had the honor and privilege to serve as the Chief Executive of Deloitte & Touche (M.E.), one of the largest professional services organizations in the region, for the last 18 years. The firm’s network of offices covers 13 countries and 22 offices in the Middle East region with over 5,500 professionals. I’m proud to have been at the helm of a world-leading professional services firm, promoting business growth, developing future leaders, encouraging social mobility and diversity, and making an impact that matters. As CEO, I focused on achieving our global strategy to become the undisputed leader in professional services across the globe. This was accompanied by a full transformation and diversification of service offerings to include assurance, tax, consulting, risk advisory, and corporate finance. Over the course of my 38-year career, I have held numerous roles at Deloitte, including serving as a member of the DTTL Global Board, the Global Board of Directors of Deloitte, and the EMEA regional CEO group. I am an honors graduate of the University of Texas at Austin and a U.S. qualified public accountant (CPA).
