About

I am pioneering neuroeconomics to propel strategic intelligence and conscious leadership in my doctoral research to create strategic alignment. I educate through keynotes and workshops on global stages to maximize value, close the strategy-to-value gap for increased ROI, and create socio-economic growth.

With two decades of experience in Tech, PM, business transformation, and organizational change, my career spans the Energy, Financial Services, and IT sectors across startups, public, and private sectors.

I was raised by an economist and an entrepreneur who championed innovative ideas with strong community values, inspiring resources to break new ground. All of these attributes and more are in my DNA.

    Senior Marketing Project Specialist at G-P,19 Jan 2026 at 03:41 pm

    Hi all, I currently work as a Senior Marketing Project Specialist based in West Cork in Ireland for a remote first company. I have been leading teams to deliver global projects for the bones of 4 years now and have worked both in-house and in client facing roles rolling from operations and team leadership into full time project management. The bulk of my work to date has been for tech companies in start-up mode and so I am most experienced in agile methodologies. I am passionate about supporting and advocating for the teams I lead and as the complexity of the projects increases I look to find operational efficiencies and automations whenever I can, so I am super intereseted to hear about the new tools and AI enhancements everyone is leveraging!

    📊 PMO Revolution: From Bureaucratic Overhead to Strategic Value Engine

    (Based on PMI’s 2025 PMO Practice Guide)

    🏛️ The PMO Identity Crisis is Over: No More “One-Size-Fits-All”

    Traditional PMO thinking is dead. The era of forcing organizations into rigid PMO categories (directive, supportive, controlling) is over. Research shows the most successful PMOs worldwide don’t fit neatly into predefined boxes—they create customized approaches that perfectly match their organization’s unique DNA.

    The Cube Analogy: Imagine six stakeholders each looking at one side of a cube. Each sees something different but correct. Traditional PMO models were like insisting everyone see the same side. The new paradigm? Acknowledge all perspectives and build a 3D solution.

    🔄 The PMO Value Ring™: Your Blueprint for Value Creation

      Hi Mahmoud, thank you for sharing this – very timely insights. The move from “process police” to strategic value partner really resonates. I’d be curious to hear how others here have seen PMOs evolve in their organisations, especially in fast-changing environments.
