Building on years of hands-on SAP HCM implementation, technical support, and change management, I moved into full-time SAP training in 2019. Today I deliver official SuccessFactors and HCM courses, support enterprise adoption efforts, and create training content used by practitioners worldwide.
Over Two Decades of Experience
My career began in 2001 on a large public-sector SAP HR rollout in Pakistan, where I moved from on-site training and Level 1 support into managing pilot site rollouts. Over a decade across Saudi Arabia followed — training and later functional/technical work on SAP HCM implementations with HP in Saudi Arabia, then within Saudi Airlines' SAP Center of Excellence, spanning business process optimization, change management, and system integration.
At Elm, a full-time Change Management role, later Program Management, led me to standardize Prosci's ADKAR model across SAP initiatives and begin upgrading from SAP HCM into SuccessFactors. Since 2019, I've focused entirely on SAP Education, delivering official SuccessFactors and HCM courses while continuing to support change management and functional advisory work.

What I Bring to a Project
Official SAP Academy, Administration, and PTO courses, plus custom content and certification-prep programs — my strongest and most consistent focus.
ADKAR-based adoption strategy, stakeholder readiness, and post-go-live support to help training translate into real system usage.
Solution reviews and functional guidance for implementation teams across SAP HCM and SuccessFactors modules, drawn from years of hands-on project experience.
Program-level delivery experience bridging business requirements, project teams, and adoption — informed by structured methodologies like SAP Activate.
In addition to live training and advisory work, I author structured, self-paced learning content published with SAP Press, Espresso Tutorials, and Michael Management. From platform foundations and Employee Central to Learning, Reporting, and S/4HANA HCM, each course is built for practical, on-the-job use, and is accessible to thousands of practitioners worldwide.
