Safwan Alsebaei General Manager| Middle East BLDG Sharjah, United Arab Emirates

Hello everyone, my name is Safwan Alsebaei, and I am thrilled to join your community.
With over 30 years of international experience across the USA, GCC, and North Africa, I specialize in leading transformational changes, integrating AI into business strategy, and elevating operational performance across industries through data analysis. My career spans leadership roles in technology, education, and corporate governance where I’ve successfully launched digital systems, optimized quality assurance, and led multi-site, multicultural teams to deliver impact at scale.

Currently, I am serving as General Manager at Middle East BLDG in UAE harnessing the power of AI, automation, and strategic planning to streamline operations and drive measurable outcomes. Previously, I advised educational boards for international schools on strategic improvement, led the integration of AI-driven performance evaluation systems, and enhanced institutional effectiveness. In earlier roles I worked with top US tech firms such as Intel where I delivered mission-critical automation and software projects that directly improved cost efficiency and client retention. 

I fluently speak Arabic, English, and Russian, and currently working on enhancing my intermediate level of Spanish.


 

I look forward to connecting with this community, sharing insights, and learning from your diverse experiences.

As the Head of Information Technology, I bring a unique perspective that bridges the approach of project management with information systems governance. My professional journey reflects a link of these domains, represented through both my PMP & CISA certifications.
The interconnection between PMP & CISA certifications has really helped my department in addressing the complex challenges that modern IT departments are facing. While technical proficiency remains essential, the ability to navigate the connection of project execution and systems governance represents the most significant opportunity for project leaders today.
In short, this dual expertise allows me to - Apply project management methodologies that incorporates compliance-ready documentations and processes. Design control frameworks - facilitate project time-line delivery. Implement risk management approaches - satisfy both operational & compliance requirements of the project.



I welcome connection with fellow PMI members interested in exploring, sharing and learning.
