My Story

Built at the intersection of technology, strategy, and people.

I built my career at the intersection of technology, strategy, and people. As a former CIO and transformation leader, I drove large-scale digital and business transformation programs for organizations including PepsiCo, Gartner, Hewlett Packard, KPMG, and Dubai World Trade Center. I know the weight of high-stakes decisions, the complexity of leading through ambiguity, and what it takes to build teams that perform under pressure.

Alongside my advisory practice, I am a Professional Certified Coach (PCC) credentialed by the International Coaching Federation, with additional certifications in HOGAN assessment, Organisation & Relationship Systems Coaching (ORSC/CRR Global), Systemic Team Coaching, and Executive Transition Coaching.

My belief is straightforward: every leader has more capacity than they are currently using. My role is to help them find it, focus it, and translate it into results that matter, for their organization, their team, and themselves.

Fluent in 5 Languages

Delel coaches and advises in all five languages, natively and without interpretation.

Arabic French English German Italian

What sets this engagement apart.

Operational Credibility

I have led from the inside, as a CIO, transformation lead, and senior advisor to C-suite teams. I bring practitioner judgment, not just coaching frameworks. When I challenge your thinking, I do it from a position of having sat in the seat.

Cultural & Market Range

28+ years of experience across developed and emerging markets: Europe, North America, the Middle East, North Africa, and Latin America. I work across Arabic, French, English, German, and Italian, and understand the nuance this demands in leadership contexts.

Evidence-Based Method

I use ICF-aligned coaching methodology combined with validated leadership assessments (HOGAN, AoEC Team Connect 360, CCL 360, PerSight, MBTI, FIRO-B, WorkPlace Big Five Profile, MHS Influence Style, and Mentis Network Centrality) to ensure the work is grounded in data, not assumption.

Adaptive by Design

No two engagements are the same. I adapt to the leader, the organization, and the moment, because that is what the situation requires. Cookie-cutter coaching doesn't work at this level. Bespoke does.
