About
Building IT that scales
Ramy ElHawary — IT Executive & CIO
I am a senior IT executive with 18+ years of international leadership experience across PE-backed, SaaS and multi-entity environments in Germany, the UAE and Egypt. Today I am Global Head of IT at Rapid Data GmbH, owning group-wide strategy, infrastructure, security and enterprise applications, and reporting to the C-suite.
My focus is turning fragmented estates into unified, cloud-native platforms and proving the value in numbers: 20–25% infrastructure cost reductions, €660K+ cumulative savings, 99.9% uptime and ISO 27001 in 10 months. The governance and the teams behind the technology matter to me as much as the technology itself.
