GAL is 100% UAE owned and boasts a best-in-class benchmark of having Emirati nationals comprising over 27% of our workforce (Emiratization).After a comprehensive company restructuring and realignment, I was personally selected to lead day-to-day operations and spearheaded the strategic HR planning and execution to achieve GAL’s new strategic vision:“To become the Middle East's leading provider of aviation maintenance, repair, overhaul and specialized support services through excellence in service quality, safety, reliability, value and customer focus.”Signature Achievements:👉🏽 Led operational training and needs analysis, recommending realignment with member state best practices while leveraging and building international partnerships.👉🏽 Directed cost benefit analysis, building unique Expat Talent Acquisition and Management model to attract top candidates while ensuring best fit for organizational culture and ability to adapt to local customs and courtesies.👉🏽 Aligned UAE maritime search and rescue best practices to international standards by standardizing terminology.

Due to specific realignment instructions from the UAE General Headquarters (US Pentagon Equivalent) to adhere to the new process of Emiratization within the Military and Government Service hierarchy, I was specifically recruited to direct enterprise talent management strategy, succession planning, recruiting, and diversity integration within the 800+ member Joint Aviation Command.

Sometimes being in the right place, or at least in the right country provides a distinct advantage. However, always being prepared ensures you’re ready to eliminate the competition when opportunity knocks.In this instance, I was hired as a Training Evaluator then hand-picked based on my academic qualifications to interview as the new Civilian Manpower Strategist.
