What I do

How I can help

A focused look at where I create the most value.

IT Strategy & Cloud Transformation

Central IT functions built from scratch; legacy estates consolidated onto Azure and AWS — costs down 20–25%, uptime at 99.9%.

Security & Compliance

ISO 27001 delivered in 10 months with zero non-conformities, plus GDPR, NIS2 and EU AI Act readiness in regulated markets.

AI Adoption & Automation

Microsoft Copilot rolled out org-wide, plus AI-assisted ITSM and agentic workflows — governed so adoption sticks culturally.

About

Leading IT at board level

Ramy ElHawary — IT Executive & CIO

Over 18 years I have led IT from Cairo to Abu Dhabi to Germany — a €1.2M data-centre migration, a 1,000-user conglomerate across five sites, a Series A-to-B scale-up, and today group-wide IT at Rapid Data GmbH, reporting to the C-suite.

What I am known for is making technology legible to the board: €3M+ budgets defended in business terms, €660K+ in cumulative savings, ISO 27001 in ten months. I lead teams the same way — clear ownership, OKRs, and upskilling so the change outlasts the project.
