About Ahmad Darwish:

Complex organizations do not fail because of technology—they fail because strategy, governance, and execution are misaligned. My role is to fix that.

I am a senior IT and digital transformation leader with over 20 years of experience designing, leading, and operationalizing enterprise technology at scale. I work with executive leadership to turn fragmented IT environments, rising costs, security risks, and legacy systems into integrated, resilient, and value-driven platforms that support long-term organizational goals.

Currently leading group-wide IT for a large multi-entity organization, I oversee enterprise infrastructure, applications, cybersecurity, governance, and service delivery across diverse business units. My focus is not just modernization, but building operating models that scale—balancing performance, cost control, risk management, and service excellence.

My expertise includes:

Defining enterprise IT and digital strategies aligned with business and institutional objectives

Building strong governance, security, and service management frameworks (ISO 27001 / ISO 20000)

Leading large, multidisciplinary teams and complex vendor ecosystems

Delivering ERP, cloud, and infrastructure transformations that produce measurable business outcomes

I have led transformation initiatives across higher education, healthcare, automotive, real estate, manufacturing, retail, logistics, and diversified group environments—consistently translating complexity into clarity and execution into results.

As organizations face accelerating digital change, increasing cyber threats, and growing expectations from users and stakeholders, I bring the discipline, leadership, and foresight required to transform IT from a cost center into a strategic enabler.

If you are looking for technology leadership that delivers structure, stability, and sustainable progress, I am open to connecting.

Experience

Senior IT and Digital Transformation Leader with over 20 years of experience managing enterprise IT strategy, operations, and governance within large, multi-entity organizations. Extensive background in infrastructure, cloud platforms, cybersecurity, ERP implementations, and IT service management. Proven ability to lead multidisciplinary teams, manage multi-million-dirham budgets, and deliver complex technology programs aligned with business objectives. Strong expertise in ISO 27001 and ISO 20000, risk management, and vendor governance. Experienced across higher education, healthcare, automotive, real estate, manufacturing, and diversified group environments.

Education

B.Tech in Information Technology Engineering, with a strong academic foundation supporting 20+ years of senior IT leadership and enterprise technology transformation experience.
