Dr. Ahmed S. ELSHEIKH - EDBAs, MBA/MSc

Research and Development Manager at Information Technology Industry Development Agency, ITIDA

Cairo, Egypt

I help executives, decision-makers, and managers shape their "Digital Transformation & Technology Monetization Strategies" in the disruptive digital economy using broad exposure to a wide range of strategies, business models, methodologies, frameworks, and technologies such as "AI, Data Analytics, FinTech, Metaverse, Business/Enterprise Architecture, Blockchain, Lean Six Sigma, TOGAF, CMMI, and Agile." Furthermore, I helped them to realize these strategies using strategy governance frameworks such as "Balanced Scorecards - BSCs," "COBIT," and "Objectives & Key Results - OKRs."

I obtained a research-based "Executive Doctorate of Business Administration - EDBA" dual degrees in "Digital Platforms and Ecosystems Strategies" from (1) "SKEMA Business School - France & Business Science Institute - Luxembourg" and (2) "iaeLyon School of Management - France." Previously, I obtained an MBA in "Strategic Management" from "Warwick Business School - UK" and an MSc in "Computer Engineering" from the "Arab Academy for Science & Technology - Egypt."

I have diversified work experiences as an R&D Manager, Advisor to C-Suite levels (i.e., CDO, CDAIO, CDAO, CTO, CIO & COO), Business/Enterprise Architect, and Executive Coach. Previously, I worked as a Senior R&D Expert, Management Consultant, Service Manager, Product Manager, Quality Expert, and Quality Manager. Being exposed to many verticals in multiple leadership roles created a unique "T-shaped" skills profile that can drive growth in the current disruptive economy.
