Mohamed Taha
Project Manager & Business Developer
A telecom executive with 16+ years of experience delivering complex infrastructure projects across Africa and the MENA region. My career spans end-to-end project management of FTTH and OSP networks, business development across emerging markets, and P&L ownership for entire business divisions.
I have led multi-million EGP programs, opened new country operations, managed key accounts with top-tier telecom operators, and built high-performance field teams. Whether closing a major enterprise contract or steering a 15-site deployment portfolio on time and on budget, my focus is always on measurable outcomes and long-term client relationships.
Armed with an MBA in Strategy & Data Analytics, I bring structured thinking to every engagement — translating technical complexity into business value. I actively apply AI, Python, and automation tools (n8n, crewAI, FastAPI, PyQGIS) to accelerate project workflows, automate BOQ estimation, and build data-driven dashboards that keep leadership informed and projects on track across Egypt, Sub-Saharan Africa, and beyond.
