With an unmatched record of success, Nidal Abou-Ltaif helps governments and businesses
make
a real difference to people’s lives in today’s digital world.
Since joining Avaya as the regional sales leader for the Middle East in 2003, Nidal has
rewired the business by building
a winning team and go-to-market strategy from scratch. He has been instrumental in

customer-centric products and services

journeys.
An advocate for boundless innovation and team work, Nidal strongly subscribes to the
notion
that innovation comes from the field.
Under his leadership, innovation is co-created between the company’s representatives and
their customers, with the
resulting technology solutions solving genuine, real-world challenges. While these
solutions
invariably lead to positive
business outcomes, many also promote equal access to digital experiences – the emergency
response system designed to be
used by hearing-impaired citizens is a perfect of example of this.
Indeed, Nidal is a champion of diversity in the technology industry; more than half of
his
leadership team are female,
and his belief in expanding the role of young talent in driving transformation resulted
in
the creation of the Avaya
Academy, which nurtures young talent with paid placements across the Avaya workforce.
Devoted to the principles of customer-centricity, leaders without titles, and
accountability
at the workplace, Nidal has
fostered an environment that makes innovation everyone’s business – whether they’re an
Avaya
employee or customer.
In a career spanning 30 years as a sales leader, Nidal has been active in transforming
business at three employers –
NCR, ATT and Avaya – and has spearheaded their ventures into new business lines, often
well
ahead of competition.

management.
