Tamer Hamdy El-Sayed
I help companies in Egypt, the Gulf, and beyond get real results from their technology: ERP, transformation, governance, and AI that ships instead of sitting in a slide deck. 26 years running enterprise IT. Building with AI right now, not just talking about it.
The market splits in two. Seasoned CIOs who treat AI as a buzzword, and young AI specialists who have never run a real system under pressure. The work needs someone who has done both.
SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft Dynamics at scale. ERP rescues, IT governance, cybersecurity, and 400M+ SAR of delivered programs across real estate, construction, FMCG, manufacturing, and hospitality. I have run the systems your business depends on, and fixed them when they stalled.
This part is hands-on, not theoretical. I work with agentic AI, automation, and intelligent systems, and I run a live AI lab to see what holds up and what is just noise. When I advise on AI, it comes from building it.
Enterprise judgment × real AI fluency. The combination is rare, and it is the part most companies are missing.
I started at Oracle, where I learned what enterprise technology really demands, then spent the next two decades applying that across some of Egypt's largest real estate and construction groups: Talaat Moustafa Group, Mountain View, Amer Group, MBG Developments, and now Leader Group in Saudi Arabia.
Today I oversee nine departments at Leader Group, from Group IT and Cybersecurity to Innovation, PMO, and Business Solutions Architecture, running programs worth more than 400 million SAR. Along the way I have built and led IT teams of 76 and more, across FMCG, manufacturing, real estate, and construction in Egypt and the Gulf.
I hold a degree in Computer Engineering from the Arab Academy for Science and Technology and a PMP certification, and I have spoken on technology strategy and business performance at conferences from Cairo to Dubai.
"Always focus on the business, not the technology itself."
Start with one. The scope flexes to fit your business, from a standing seat at the leadership table to a short, fixed-scope sprint.
Senior IT leadership, part-time and ongoing. Strategy, budgets, vendor management, and a steady hand in the room with your executives. For companies that need a CIO's judgment but not a CIO's salary.
Where will AI actually pay off in your operation, and where is it just a distraction? Practical adoption of agents and automation, with the governance to run it safely. Based on what I have built, not on the hype cycle.
SAP, Oracle, and Dynamics programs: new rollouts, optimization, or rescuing the ones that have stalled. This is the work I have done most, across more than two decades.
IT governance, cybersecurity posture, and the discipline almost nobody is ready for yet: governing AI agents and the decisions they make on their own. A fixed-scope assessment with a clear roadmap to fix what it finds.
Leadership roles across some of Egypt's largest groups: Leader Investment Group, Amer Group, MBG Developments, Mountain View, and Talaat Moustafa Group. Plus the early years engineering enterprise systems at Oracle.
As VP of Systems & Solutions, I oversee nine departments spanning Group IT, Cybersecurity, IT Infrastructure, Innovation, PMO, Implementation, Presales, Marketing, and Business Solutions Architecture, directing programs worth more than 400 million SAR.
I built the Innovation department from the ground up and brought it into the Presales process. Closer collaboration between innovation and bidding teams raised the group's RFP and tender win rates.
During an independent advisory engagement, I guided the implementation of Microsoft Dynamics 365 ERP and the supporting cloud strategy, giving the business a single, modern operating backbone.
As Senior Group Applications Manager for more than seven years, I led the enterprise applications function at one of Egypt's most prominent real-estate developers, supporting the systems behind large-scale residential and commercial communities.
A direct conversation about where you are, what is stuck, and what better would look like. We find out fast whether I am the right fit.
A clear engagement: which track, what outcomes, what timeline, what it costs. You know exactly what you are buying before anything starts.
I operate as part of your leadership, making decisions and not just recommendations, under governance you control. An executive, on demand.
A short, direct conversation is the fastest way to find out if I can help. No obligation, no script.
