Welcome! Introduce yourself to PMI’s Online Community

My name is Ahmed Sayed, and I am a Senior Cybersecurity Consultant with a strong background in project management and risk mitigation.

As a child, I aspired to become a customs officer, driven by a passion for upholding regulations, preventing smuggling, and combating illegal practices to ensure security and compliance.

I highly value tools like Microsoft Project, Jira, and Trello for their efficiency in task tracking and collaboration. Additionally, I’m keen on deepening my expertise in Agile methodologies and cybersecurity-specific frameworks like NIST and ISO 27001 to enhance project outcomes in risk management.

My hands-on experience in previous roles exposed me to the critical need for structured project execution, which led me to pursue PMP certification. The dynamic challenges, continuous learning opportunities, and the ability to deliver impactful solutions have kept me deeply engaged in this field.

Earning my PMP certification stands as a key professional milestone, but applying its principles to successfully lead cybersecurity initiatives—strengthening organizational resilience—has been even more rewarding.

Hello everyone!

I’m thrilled to join the PMI Online Community as I prepare to sit for the PMP exam in the coming months. Allow me to introduce myself:

Hey everyone! 👋
My name’s Paul Irizarry, and I’m currently working in credit operations management within the banking industry. While I’m not in a formal project manager role yet, I’ve led several initiatives involving workflow improvements, reporting, and cross-team coordination within the banking industry and during my military service—which sparked my interest in making the leap into project management full-time.

I recently started working toward my CAPM® certification to build a solid foundation and expand my skills. I also hold a BBA in Finance, and I’m passionate about efficiency, leadership, and finding practical ways to improve how teams work.

I joined the PMI community to connect with others on a similar path, learn from those ahead of me, and hopefully contribute along the way. If you’ve transitioned into project management from a non-traditional background, I’d love to hear your story or connect.

Looking forward to growing with this community!

Hello everyone,

Greetings, PMI family. I am Reuben Isaacs, a built environment professional with over two decades of experience transforming concepts into infrastructure that is not only functional but also socially impactful. Trained in ICT, Management, Strategy and project management, led diverse teams and initiatives across Botswana’s public and private sectors, navigating complex stakeholder environments and delivering projects that blend strategy excellence with operational efficiency.

My journey into Project Management and strategy was ignited by an early fascination with alarming projects' failure, which influences human experience. This curiosity evolved into a formal pursuit of Project management and later, strategic Management and leadership.

Like many professionals in our field, I often found myself serving as a project manager by default. Over time, I realized that leadership instincts alone were not enough; what I needed was a globally recognized, systematic approach to managing complexity. That search led me to the Project Management Institute, where the PMP framework has become instrumental in refining my methods, increasing value for stakeholders, and aligning project execution with broader strategic goals.

My Big Hairy Audacious Goal (BHAG) is to become a transformational leader in infrastructure development across the African continent, bridging the gap between vision and delivery through sustainable, well-managed, and community-centered projects. I believe in building not just structures, but legacies.

I am honoured to join the PMI network, a global community of changemakers and I look forward to learning, contributing, and collaborating as we shape the future of project leadership together.
