About

I am a seasoned CTO & CISO with over 20 years of experience at the intersection of deep technical mastery and executive leadership. As the Co‑Founder of Titan Shield, I lead one of the region’s most trusted cybersecurity firms — and proudly the only fully Offensive Security–certified team in Palestine.

My career spans building and scaling managed security services, achieving 100% ISO/IEC 27001 certification success, and sustaining 95%+ client satisfaction across enterprise clients. I specialize in bridging the gap between board‑level risk governance and hands‑on technical execution, equally fluent in presenting risk posture to executives and architecting zero‑trust environments or leading incident response operations.

Recognized as a visionary strategist and trusted advisor, I have built high‑performing teams, delivered measurable improvements in security resilience, and enabled organizations across finance, telecom, government, and critical infrastructure to operate with confidence in today’s complex digital landscape.
