Born in Amman - Jordan in 1967 where I grew up in a lovely and big family. I studied in Amman - Jordan until my bachelor degree with honor and went to France to continue my university studies. I came to Europe when I was 19 years old and spent about 8 years in France where I studied Science Fundamentals, Computer Science and Software Engineering; I specialized in Artificial Intelligence with a master degree. My destiny sent me to Netherlands to make my These of Robotics and Medical Imagery in the research center of digital equipment corporation in Nieuwegein. I was proposed after three months to continue working with DEC to apply AI on Internet and Search Engines (Alta Vista) in 1994. This made my Dutch wife very happy to come and live in Holland, for me it was too cold compared to my country but challenging enough to accept. Started as Technical Consultant / Project Manager with digital then Compaq. I worked then for a small company as Sr Project Manager & People Manager before I joined IBM in 2001 where I started with Business Consulting Services as Senior Project Manager and eCommerce solution leader. I joined AMS: Application Management Services after that as project performance manager and solution leader last year. In 2005 I became Delivery Business Manager for the competencies Portals, Content Management, eCommerce & User Centered Design group. Starting this year, I am happy to carry the challenge of bringing IBM Global Services to collaborate with IBM Software Group for a better IBM performance. I am married and have three fantastic kids, Sarah, Xander and Nadine. Except for the cold in Netherlands I do enjoy living here with my family and friends. I love sport but can not find time for it. Traveling is also a hobby that I can not practice frequently as a father of three but still manage to travel 2 to 3 times a year.
