Experienced Project Manager with a strong background in entrepreneurship and innovation, boasting over 20 years of comprehensive expertise. My career has been highlighted by the successful management of a diverse array of projects, ranging from multi-million euro initiatives to targeted programs aimed at fostering socio-economic development.
Key projects under my purview include the prestigious INTERNISA ENI CBCMED EU project, pivotal in fostering cross-border collaboration, and the impactful Syrian Refugees IT training endeavor. Additionally, I spearheaded the implementation of Developing Technical Education Programs at BAU, securing substantial funding totaling $10 million from KOICA.
In tandem with my role as Project Coordinator, I've led initiatives funded by GIZ, notably steering the Labor Market Oriented Vocational Education and the Higher Education and Training MOVE-HET projects. Moreover, my involvement in initiatives such as the Developing Logistic Diploma program and the United States-Jordanian University Cooperation Network underscores my adeptness in managing complex, internationally funded projects.
Furthermore, I've orchestrated over 15 successful Erasmus+ mobility projects, facilitating academic and student exchanges to promote intercultural dialogue and academic excellence across borders.
My skill set is underpinned by exceptional organizational acumen, analytical prowess, and a demonstrated knack for problem-solving. I excel in galvanizing cross-functional teams towards project fruition, leveraging a wealth of experience garnered from a robust research background. Notably, my contributions extend beyond project management, with a track record of academic publications and presentations at esteemed international conferences.
Combining insights gleaned from industry and academia, I offer a unique perspective that informs my collaborative approach with diverse stakeholders. Whether liaising with government bodies, industry partners, or academic institutions, I am adept at navigating multifaceted challenges and devising bespoke solutions that drive sustainable outcomes.
My expertise spans a spectrum of domains, encompassing entrepreneurship, innovation, quality assurance, Six Sigma methodologies, strategic planning, data mining (including classification, clustering, and feature selection), and artificial intelligence. This holistic skill set enables me to devise innovative strategies that optimize business growth and enhance operational efficiency.
Complementing my professional endeavors, I am deeply committed to mentorship, having supervised numerous students and junior staff on research projects and practical applications. This passion for nurturing the next generation of project managers and engineers underscores my dedication to fostering excellence within the field.
