Strategy Is Only
as Good
as Its Execution.

Digital & AI Advisory

As a former CIO and digital transformation leader, I advise C-suite executives and their leadership teams on digital strategy, operating model design, technology investment decisions, and transformation execution. I bring the perspective of someone who has delivered, not just advised.

What I Advise On

  • Digital strategy and roadmap development
  • Operating model design and organizational readiness
  • Technology investment and vendor governance
  • Transformation program leadership and stakeholder alignment
  • Change management and adoption strategy
  • AI integration and data-driven leadership

Who This Is For

CEOs, CIOs, and boards seeking a trusted senior advisor to stress-test their digital agenda, accelerate a stalled program, or provide independent perspective ahead of a major investment decision.

Credential

Certified advisory board chair by Advisory Board Centre (ABC), the leading global professional body for advisory board governance. Former CIO with cross-industry transformation delivery experience across 4 continents.

Testimonials

In 2024, we engaged Delel as an advisor for the Al Ghurair Foundation during a significant phase of our digital transformation. From the outset, she redefined what it means to understand an organization — not with surface-level assessments, but through a deep dive into our digital maturity and processes. Her approach was strategic and focused, prioritizing governance and process optimization before simply recommending technological shifts. Her insights are grounded, actionable, and transformative. With her guidance, we didn't just move forward — we accelerated. Our digital journey now includes a clear, phased technology roadmap aligned with our long-term vision. In a field where real transformation is often elusive, Delel stands apart. She is a powerful reminder that when consulting is done right, it doesn't just advise — it drives real change, inspires confidence, and strengthens organizations.

Delel was my Executive Partner from Gartner for 18 months. She is a highly astute technology leader who brings experience as well as knowledge. Conversations with her are always engaging as well as challenging status quo. I would highly recommend her for formulating strategy not just limited to technology but even for business.

Delel regularly showed strong digital knowledge and business acumen. I worked with her when I was the GM of the PepsiCo GCC & Levant Snacks as well as the GM of the MENA PepsiCo Franchise business. During my tenure, she was a great partner in driving the digital transformation agenda for both businesses. She spearheaded the planning and implementation phases, displayed true commercial understanding and surpassed expectations.
