Adel Ghaleb portrait

About

A quarter-century at the intersection of space, data and decision-making.

Adel Ghaleb is a senior enterprise sales leader whose 25-year career has tracked the evolution of the geospatial industry — from satellite communications and weather systems, through commercial Earth Observation, into HD mapping for autonomous mobility, and today the integrated location-intelligence platforms powering smart cities and sovereign monitoring programmes.

He has built and closed strategic relationships with C-level decision-makers across ministries, defence, transport authorities and Tier-1 enterprise across the Middle East and Africa — and is now open to Director-level opportunities in Europe and Canada.
