With 20 years of experience in internal communications, employee engagement, and digital transformation, I drive organizational success through impactful strategies and innovation. Currently pursuing an MSc in Digital Marketing at Liverpool John Moores University, I am enhancing my expertise in digital tools to elevate employee engagement and communication.

As Head of Communication, Engagement, and Digital Transformation at Vodafone, I lead strategies for organizations with 15,000+ employees, delivering mega projects and events across Egypt and Africa. I spearhead digital initiatives like the Vodafoners app, creating seamless employee experiences.

I am a CEB Black Belt-certified professional and HR Assessor, skilled in data-driven insights, talent development, and fostering high-performing cultures. My expertise includes transforming employee experiences, driving cultural change, managing crisis communications, and executing large-scale organizational programs.
