Mohammed Maher

Enterprise Account Executive
Kuwait 

Summary

Experienced Sales Executive with a proven track record in driving digital transformation within the banking sector.

Leveraging 10+ years of industry expertise and a PMP certification, I have successfully implemented innovative payment solutions, integration strategies, and enterprise architecture initiatives.

Starting as a field engineer, I gained hands-on experience implementing digital solutions and enhancing organizational processes. Over time, I transitioned into account executive and sales engineer roles, where I excelled in identifying market needs, forging strategic partnerships, and developing comprehensive market plans.

My experience at AL-Bahar Group involved building a new digital solutions department, focusing on card payments and Cyber Security. I collaborated closely with technical and sales teams to match client needs with appropriate technologies, adopting a consultative approach to engage with strategic accounts.

At Software AG, I specialized in selling banking solutions, including integration, enterprise architecture, and payment systems. My consistent achievement of sales quotas demonstrates my ability to effectively position and deliver value-added solutions to clients within the banking industry.
