About Hussam
I support C-UAS, geospatial and reality capture technology companies as a regional commercial advisor, helping them enter and scale in complex Middle Eastern and African markets.
My background includes senior commercial roles with DroneShield, FARO, PTC and Dedrone, working across government, critical infrastructure, and channel-driven sales environments.
I work selectively with a small number of companies requiring experienced on-the-ground representation without establishing a full regional office.
Let’s connect to explore growth opportunities & strategic partnerships!
