“Being part of the PMI Lebanon Chapter has enriched my professional journey through knowledge sharing and networking.”

Mr. Muhannad Damaj, Geographic Information Systems Manager

I am a technology and digital transformation professional with more than two decades of experience in software engineering, Agile leadership, and leading scalable Scrum teams across enterprise environments, with strong exposure to Geographic Information Systems (GIS). I joined the PMI Lebanon Chapter to strengthen my academic and professional credentials and to stay aligned with global project management best practices.

I work in the technology domain, focusing on digital transformation, AI-enabled solutions, and large-scale enterprise platforms across industries such as waste management and Salesforce-driven business environments, with professional experience in international organizations including Khatib & Alami, Averda Group, BMB Group, and Intalio. I am a Professional Scrum Master II (PSM II) certified practitioner.

Being part of the PMI Lebanon Chapter has enriched my professional journey through knowledge sharing and networking. I have also contributed through volunteering initiatives, including sessions on portfolio management for the Lebanon Reforestation Initiative and planning workshops for the Rushd Association for Development and Training, which strengthened my leadership and collaboration skills.
