ABOUT ALI ZAHID

To keep complex, technical projects on track and deliver exceptional results, we must proactively plan for contingencies, anticipate changes, and always remain agile.As a Senior Telecommunications Engineer and Project Manager, I have 10 years’ experience managing, commissioning, and executing multi-million-dollar telecommunications systems and substation engineering initiatives.A diverse range of international clients, as well as internal sales and tendering teams, turn to me as a telecom subject-matter expert and advisor. My insight informs project estimates, scope, and plans, ultimately facilitating and winning bids with key clients. My expertise stretches beyond telecommunications, as I’ve served as an instrumental contributor, and I’ve supported ABB with navigating and expanding into new markets including Pakistan, Bahrain, and most notably, Ethiopia. I oversaw the opening and launch of ABB’s branch in Ethiopia, fully recruiting and staffing the operations, as well as leading my own team and facilitating a number of high-profile projects.Always putting the client first, I’m deeply committed to providing unprecedented levels of service, and to leading my teams to do the same.
