Inspira appoints new CEO for MEA region

Inspira Enterprise, on Wednesday, announced the appointment of Abdul Wahab Mohammed as the chief executive officer (CEO) of its Middle East and Africa (MEA) Region based out of Riyad, Saudi Arabia. Abdul Wahab will be responsible for expanding and further developing Inspira’s regional presence in his new role at the Mumbai-headquartered cybersecurity firm. He will also work to deepen customer relationships and deliver solutions customised to the evolving threat landscape in MEA.

An industry veteran, Mohammed has over two decades of experience in the technology sector. Prior to joining Inspira, he was with Infosys as GM and Regional Director, MEA, for nearly 14 years, where he led the SURE (Services, Utilities, Resource & Energy) vertical. He spearheaded a transformative shift in the regional growth strategy, forging strategic alliances and securing landmark deals with industry leaders. 

Before that, he held leadership roles in PwC, where he worked in Information Security and Policy Making with a special focus on Saudi Arabia.  He was also a member of the global information security team at General Electric.

“We welcome Mohammed to the Inspira leadership team, where he will head the Middle East and Africa, which is one of our top strategic growth regions globally. His exceptional ability to build and lead teams and bring about significant financial turnarounds will contribute to the accelerated growth of our business there. I wish him all success in his new role,” said Chetan Jain, Managing Director of Inspira Enterprise.

Mohammed’s wide experience in the Middle East region, with special focus on Saudi Arabia, will be of direct relevance to Inspira, the company said in a statement.

“The organisation continues to show an unwavering commitment to excellence in the cybersecurity space, with the MEA region having seen sustained momentum and strong performance for Inspira,” he said.
