Given the evolving nature of technology, standing out among professionals who are reshaping industries using artificial intelligence and digital transformation is a remarkable feat. Infosys' Abdul Wahab Mohammed has achieved just that. He leads a massive portfolio spanning various sectors, including energy, utilities, resources and services.

As the company's senior director of sales & business development for the MEA region, Abdul Wahab Mohammed became internationally recognized for driving growth through strategic partnerships, technological innovation, and a firm pledge to sustainability.

In addition to his leadership at Infosys, his membership in the Forbes Business Council further solidifies his reputation as a thought leader, allowing him to contribute to global discussions on innovation and business development.

Whitepage International also recently awarded Abdul Wahab Mohammed the prestigious 'Global 200 Inspirational Leader' title, which celebrates leaders making significant contributions to their industries across the globe.

A Deeply Rooted Passion for Technology

Abdul Wahab Mohammed's fascination for computers and their potential to transform industries motivated him to pursue an MS in computer applications and a BS in computer science. "I've always been into the influence of technology in solving complex problems, and I knew early on that I wanted to be a part of this change," he recalls.

His professional career at Infosys began as he climbed the ranks, eventually assuming the role of Senior Director Sales and Business Development for MEA Region. His leadership has transformed the company operations in the region and contributed to year-on-year growth.

"What we've built in the MEA region is extraordinary," he reflects. "The demand for digital transformation and sustainability-driven solutions, particularly in sectors like energy and utilities, smart cities has allowed us to grow and lead in helping clients achieve their goals."

Driving Expansion in the MEA Region

Governments in the UAE and Saudi Arabia have already committed billions to sustainability projects, such as Saudi's Vision 2030 and the UAE's Green Growth Strategy, positioning the region as a key player in global environmental efforts.

Abdul Wahab Mohammed's strategy for Infosys has proved instrumental. He has accomplished this mainly through forging strategic partnerships with industry leading clients in the Energy, Utilities, Resources, Smart Cities and Services domains.

"The MEA region presents incredible opportunities for technology-driven innovation," he explains. "We are helping our clients in the energy, utilities, and resources sectors to become more efficient and meet sustainability goals."

Strategic Partnerships as a Growth Catalyst

Abdul Wahab Mohammed attributes his success to strategic partnerships with leading industry organisations. These collaborations have expanded Infosys' MEA regional footprint, contributing to multi-million-dollar growth and positioning the company as a trusted advisor in digital transformation and sustainable development.

"Our growth is a reflection of the strength of our partnerships," he emphasizes. "By working closely with industry leading clients, we've been able to tailor our solutions to meet their specific needs, whether improving operational efficiency through AI or leading the charge in sustainability efforts."

Creating Change Through AI and Sustainability

Abdul Wahab Mohammed's focus on providing AI-driven solutions that help businesses transition to cleaner, more efficient energy systems has been transformative, aligning with this growing trend and positioning his clients to not only meet but exceed global sustainability standards.

Infosys, a global IT leader with over USD 18.5 billion in annual revenue, has developed AI-powered tools that optimize energy use, reduce waste, and enhance operational efficiency across industries. These solutions help companies in energy-intensive industries align with global sustainability goals while remaining competitive in the marketplace.

Abdul Wahab Mohammed contributes significantly to energy transition initiatives. The company offers broad digital transformation services, which ensure that clients in the MEA region can effectively tackle today's technological challenges.

Well-earned Accolades

Abdul Wahab Mohammed has received multiple accolades for his leadership and business acumen. Among these are the Most Valuable Player and Sales Excellence Awards and recognition as an Asset to the company and a People's Champion.

"Recognition is always humbling, but the real reward is seeing the effect our work has on our clients and their ability to develop," he shares. Abdul Wahab Mohammed has also earned prestigious certifications, including the Financial Leadership Program from Stanford University, PMP, CRISC, CISSP, and CISA.

A Clear Vision for the Future

With his strategic partnerships, leadership in regional expansion, and ability to set new industry standards, Abdul Wahab Mohammed will continue to influence what technology will be like in the MEA region and beyond.

Abdul Wahab Mohammed says, "Technology isn't merely creating more advancements. We can use it to find sustainable solutions that help businesses and communities thrive. I'm focused on making sure the MEA region leads in this change so we can show the world what's possible when technology and progress come together."
