Hosted by Mahmoud Taher — Deputy GM with 20+ years of executive leadership across engineering mega-projects, manufacturing, and multi-industry operations. Each episode decodes one high-level strategic intersection — where Finance meets Operations, where HR meets Strategy, where AI meets leadership decision-making — and translates it into practical executive intelligence
