An accomplished senior leader, Ahmad brings to HPE over 14 years’ experience working in the UAE’s technology sector. He joins from Emirates Post Group, where he served as a board member in Electronic Document Center while leading its large enterprise and nationwide government sales strategy and spearheading a major transformation initiative. Prior to this he helped launch the Emirates Integrated Telecommunications Company (du), where he led Enterprise Government sales and oversaw the design of new products, services and solutions for private cloud computing.

Ahmad’s incoming priorities include helping customers and partners in the UAE navigate the COVID-19 crisis while maintaining business continuity and operational excellence. HPE Financial Services is designating more than $2 billion globally towards helping businesses deal with the financial challenges stemming from COVID-19 and receive the technology they need. Ahmad will oversee implementation of a number of initiatives based on this, including a Payment Relief Program to defer new acquisition costs and the expansion of secure remote work options to help with social distancing and work-from-home policies.

A key component of Ahmad’s role will be working with UAE government bodies to help the country realize its goals set out in the Vision 2021 and National Advanced Sciences Agenda 2031.

“We are delighted that Ahmad Alkhallafi is HPE’s new Managing Director for the UAE and look forward to working with him,” said Wolfgang Egger, Vice President and Managing Director for HPE Middle East & South Africa. “Ahmad brings a great track-record of successful digital transformations, unprecedented account development and executive-level experience from some of the UAE’s largest organizations. His appointment highlights our commitment to the UAE and its incredible talent pool. Ahmad will be a welcome presence as we collectively tackle the unprecedented challenges of COVID-19.”

“I am pleased to be joining HPE and spearheading its world-leading digital transformation in the UAE, supporting the country’s economic and technological development. At this challenging time I will be placing a special emphasis on helping our customers and partners negotiate the new landscape. I look forward to learning from our colleagues, partners and customers and believe that my local knowledge and expertise will enable HPE and its partners to achieve great success.” said Ahmad.
