Summary

The short version

I've spent 24+ years in security roles — including 15+ years in senior security leadership since 2011 — building and running enterprise security programs inside two of Jordan's largest banks, alongside earlier roles with Cisco and Dimension Data across the UAE. This page is my personal portfolio: a full picture of the services I offer, the work behind them, and how to reach me directly.

My practice covers the full range of what a security leader does — embedded leadership as a virtual or fractional CISO, hands-on risk and architecture assessments, regulatory compliance advisory, incident response readiness, vulnerability management, security policy development, and executive training. Clients bring me in for one specific problem, a full program build, or ongoing leadership — the same senior-level ownership applies either way.

Every engagement is delivered personally — no account layer, no junior substitution, and no vendor relationships that bias the advice. I bring the same hands-on approach I used to build a security function from the ground up to every client I work with today.
