It’s not just about systems.
It’s about people. Change. Growth. Impact.

I STARTED AS AN ACCOUNTANT

I started my career as an accountant, but I realized early my interest in technology and tried to find a way to integrate business with technology.

SCHOLARSHIP FROM MCIT – EGYPT

I was granted a scholarship from The Ministry of Communications & Information Technology (MCIT) in Egypt for one year to study Microsoft Dynamics Great Plains.

MICROSOFT DYNAMICS JOURNEY

I joined Microsoft Partners and worked as Implementation Consultant & Project Manager on Microsoft Dynamics GP, Dynamics AX 2009, Dynamics AX 2012, and for the last 10 years I have worked as Senior Microsoft Business Consultant and change management consultant.

BEYOND TECHNOLOGY: THE HUMAN ELEMENT

After many implementations, training and support, I realized that technology alone is not enough. The human element is everything. That realization led me to pursue an MBA in Human Resource Management and later a Doctorate in Business Administration (DBA) with a thesis on Organizational Change Management Strategies in ERP Systems.

BRIDGING THE GAP FOR OVER 20 YEARS

For over 20 years, I have been bridging the gap between technical systems and the people who use them — as a consultant, trainer, mentor, and author.

CERTIFIED. RECOGNIZED. TRUSTED.

I am a Microsoft Certified Trainer and Certified Change Management Professional (CCMP), and also an internationally published author.

BUILDING A COMMUNITY THAT LASTS

But what I am most proud of is the community I have built, DUGE — the first official Microsoft Dynamics User Group in Egypt, launching soon.
