ABOUT SAM BELCAID
A seasoned Infrastructure Project Manager with over 15 years of experience delivering complex, high-impact IT infrastructure projects across logistics, telecom, and enterprise sectors. Most recently, I led several global transformation programs at GXO Logistics, where I was responsible for designing and executing multi-million-dollar initiatives that strengthened cybersecurity, modernized infrastructure, and improved operational resilience across hundreds of international sites.At GXO, I successfully delivered the global Network Segmentation program, rolling out standardized security controls across 790+ locations. This initiative significantly reduced cyber risk exposure and aligned the organization with evolving cyber insurance and compliance standards. I managed a $2.2M+ budget and collaborated closely with global teams in Networks, InfoSec, and EUC to ensure consistent, secure implementation.Previously, I directed the consolidation of legacy Active Directory domains across AMAPAC, the UK, and Europe. This $3.4M+ program simplified domain architecture, enhanced security, and created a future-ready platform for integration and M&A activity. I also led a full-scale data center migration in the UK following a provider bankruptcy, ensuring uninterrupted operations during the transition to new sites in Chessington and Cressex.Before GXO, I worked on the €1.4M IT separation project for XPO Logistics, enabling a clean infrastructure split between its Transport and Supply Chain businesses. I’ve also held senior roles at Verizon, Capita, and Dimension Data, leading infrastructure change, technical design, ICT deployments, and stakeholder engagement across complex environments.My approach blends deep technical knowledge with structured project delivery, stakeholder alignment, and vendor coordination. I’m passionate about building secure, scalable, and resilient IT ecosystems that deliver measurable business value.
