Summary
Mohammad Shahzad is a strategic IT leader and hands-on software engineer with over a decade of experience delivering large-scale digital transformations across real estate, facilities management, hospitality and construction. As Head of IT at Dubai Community Management he has led rapid, high-impact projects—such as a record two-month rollout of a payments portal and a swift Genesys cloud contact center deployment—that recovered multi‑hundred million AED and cut annual costs by over AED 1M. He combines enterprise architecture and full-stack engineering skills with proven program delivery, having migrated ERP estates to cloud-first platforms and consolidated data centers to accelerate time-to-market. A recognized transformation maestro (DXInspire, Catalysts, Enterprise Transformation awards), he excels at aligning IT roadmaps to business strategy, negotiating vendor ecosystems, and building in-house SOC/NOC capabilities that saved millions. Not obvious from the title: he routinely bridges deep technical implementation (integrations, ERP, BI dashboards) with stakeholder persuasion to deliver measurable operational and financial outcomes.
