Chief Commercial Officer - Middle East and Africa, Honeywell International
Ghiya Al-Haj-Hasan's career began at Honeywell Aerospace in Phoenix, where she was promoted five times in five years. Ten years ago, she made the move to Honeywell International in Dubai. Here, too, Al-Haj-Hasan has rapidly progressed through the ranks - starting as a customer business manager and now working as the chief marketing officer of the Middle East and Africa region, an area of significant strategic importance to the company due to its considerable market size and future growth potential. She manages the commercial strategy for this $1.5 billion+ business that spans aerospace, oil and gas, automation, and digital transformation. Her work helps enable double-digit revenue growth through alignment with business and sales teams to drive market penetration and pipeline acceleration. She also addresses the ongoing challenge of assisting industries in transitioning from legacy operations to future-proofed, technology-driven models.
During the last decade in Dubai, she has overseen management of leading airlines in the Middle East and India, administering a business exceeding $300 million. She has led customer support and product strategy for a $375 million+ aerospace portfolio, enabling $27 million+ in new sales pipeline opportunities. As senior director of strategic accounts, she managed $200 million+ in key customer accounts, delivering 20%+ year-over-year order growth and 40% whitespace expansion. She also has engaged with senior industry and government decision-makers to advance technology-driven transformation.
Al-Haj-Hasan was selected as one of the few Honeywell top strategic account leaders, and she has completed a multitude of company programs and certifications, including the Honeywell Career Advancement Program earlier this year.
