Learn from someone who has worked where strategy meets execution.
Ahmad Obaida is a PMO Director and Strategy Execution Specialist with extensive hands-on experience across Saudi Arabia and Egypt. His work spans corporate strategy, PMO establishment, portfolio governance, transformation and performance management.
Ahmad has established PMOs from scratch across enterprise, transformation and strategy management environments, working across consulting, government, manufacturing and FMCG.
His experience covers the full cycle from strategy formulation to execution — translating strategic priorities into governed portfolios, performance systems and measurable business outcomes.
His professional background includes work with boards, CEOs and CFOs, as well as experience in IPO readiness, governance, transformation programmes and portfolio management.
This practitioner perspective shapes the way he approaches professional learning: complex concepts are connected to practical situations, structured frameworks and decisions professionals may need to make in their own organisations.
Through TALINT, he designs and delivers programmes focused on project management, PMO practice, strategy execution and business transformation — with an emphasis on practical application and workplace relevance.
Training designed to move knowledge into capability.
The value of practitioner-led training is not simply knowing the framework. It is understanding how to use it when the situation becomes complex, priorities compete and decisions need to be made.
Learn from real delivery environments
Training is informed by experience across PMOs, portfolios, transformation programmes, governance environments and strategic execution.
Understand the bigger picture
Participants explore how projects connect with strategy, financial performance, governance, organisational priorities and business value.
Turn concepts into usable tools
Frameworks are presented with an emphasis on practical application, helping participants structure their thinking and approach workplace challenges more systematically.
Build while you learn
The learning approach can connect modules to real participant projects, allowing concepts to develop into tangible professional outputs.
Think beyond project delivery
Participants can explore the relationship between delivery, governance, performance, transformation and executive decision-making.
Take the learning back to work
The objective is practical professional capability: clearer thinking, stronger structures and approaches that can be applied in the workplace.
Experience measured through delivery.
Ahmad's professional experience includes measurable outcomes across PMO establishment, portfolio management, governance, transformation and operational performance.
