Re-inventing a telco:
From utility to digital transformation solutions provider

Overview

When I joined Etihad Etisalat Mobily — Saudi Arabia's second-largest telecom — the organisation's digital products were fragmented, inconsistently designed, and largely vendor-dependent. There was no unified UX vision, no shared design language, and no in-house team capable of owning the experience end to end.

I joined as VP of Digital UX within the Digital Services Unit, and was quickly promoted to lead Brand Design and UX across the entire business. Over five years, I helped transform Mobily's design function from a fragmented, outsourced operation into a high-performing, award-winning in-house practice.

mView, Design Systems & Rebrand

My initial focus was Mobily's SVOD SaaS platform, mView — a loss-making, technically disjointed service that needed to be rebuilt from the ground up. I led the complete redesign: rationalising the information architecture, rebuilding the UI system, improving usability across devices, and integrating payment and carrier billing with Apple and Google. The result was a cohesive, brand-led product accessible on any screen.

Alongside mView, I led UX across a diverse digital portfolio: consumer apps, enterprise cloud platforms, fleet management software, and an app store. Each product needed to work harder for its users — and connect clearly to the others. I built the team, set the UX standards, and established the governance that made that possible.

The rebrand came later, and was a direct extension of the product work — distilling the visual identity to its most scalable, recognisable elements, and rolling a unified UI system across digital products, retail environments, and communications. The result was recognised with a Festival of Media Silver Award in 2017.
