As Executive Director of Commercial Operations, Umar leads AAG's commercial strategy — identifying and developing new business, managing key client relationships, shaping procurement strategy, and running the financial-commercial feasibility assessments that determine which projects move forward.
His background in Computer Engineering and Certified Cybersecurity Analyst credential are a genuine asset in this role, not a mismatch: they let him read technical project data, vendor specifications, and system proposals critically, so commercial decisions — pricing, vendor selection, procurement terms — are grounded in an accurate understanding of what's actually being built and sourced. His front-end and back-end development skills also support AAG's client-facing digital tools and reporting.
