Mr. Sohail Elabd
With over 25 years of experience in the geospatial industry, I am passionate about helping organizations leverage the power of location intelligence to solve complex challenges and create positive impact. As the Director of International Strategies at Esri, I lead the development and execution of strategic initiatives to expand Esri's presence and influence in key markets and regions around the world. I work with cross-functional teams to identify and pursue new opportunities, partnerships, and collaborations, as well as to support and empower our existing customers and distributors. Previously, I was the General Manager for West Asia, Middle East, and Africa at Esri, where I oversaw the operations, sales, marketing, and services of Esri's regional offices and partners. I have a strong background in surveying, analytical skills, and data management, which enables me to understand and address the needs and challenges of our diverse and dynamic customer base. I am committed to advancing Esri's mission of inspiring and enabling people to positively shape the future through a deeper, geographic understanding of the changing world.
