KARIM MAHDY · Head of Operations
EMEA / GCC

Transforming operational friction into high-performing revenue engines.

15 years scaling enterprise tech giants and B2B SaaS ecosystems - from Expedia and Amazon to high-velocity marketplaces like Ureed. I bridge the gap between strategic vision and commercial execution, designing operating systems that turn complexity into predictable, high-margin output - driven by an Italian heritage of meticulous craftsmanship and sharp attention to detail.
