Leading the Charge in AI-Powered CRM: How Salesforce Is Shaping the Digital Future of the Middle East
Mohammed Alkhotani shares how innovation and a people-first approach are transforming businesses across the region It's not often that you meet a business leader who speaks about digital transformation with the ease of someone recalling a personal journey. For Mohammed Alkhotani, Senior Vice President and General Manager, Middle East at Salesforce, that journey is very much a present-day reality - one defined by innovation, bold regional expansion, and a deep commitment to customer-centricity. Over the past two decades, Salesforce has evolved from a cloud pioneer into a global CRM powerhouse. But Alkhotani believes the company's long-term success rests on two enduring principles: innovation and quality. "Salesforce essentially pioneered the Software as a Service (SaaS) model," he says. "Back in the mid-2000s, we were among the very first to deliver a complete, end-to-end SaaS system and that foundational innovation gave us a significant early advantage." From that launchpad, Salesforce built a platform designed for rapid deployment, seamless customisation, and faster time-to-value. The SaaS model allowed businesses to scale quickly and flexibly - something that's now a critical requirement in today's fast-moving digital economy. Staying Ahead with AI-Powered Innovation What sets Salesforce apart today is its unwavering commitment to staying ahead of the curve. 'Innovation has always been at the heart of everything we do,' Alkhotani explains. "We lead the market in introducing new features and adapting to evolving business needs, both globally and locally." A standout example is ' Agentforce', which he describes as "the first AI-powered digital labour solution in the SaaS world." Deployed across sectors - from call centres to online service assistants, Agentforce is helping businesses reduce reliance on human intervention for repetitive tasks while boosting overall productivity. Aligning with a Digital-First Global Vision Salesforce's long-term strategy aligns seamlessly with the world's shift to a digital-first workforce, particularly in high-expectation regions like the GCC. "Customers today expect services to be delivered in minutes, not days," Alkhotani notes. "If governments can process applications almost instantly, the private sector is under pressure to keep up." But while expectations soar, human capacity remains stretched. Studies show nearly 41% of daily tasksare low-value - things like answering phones or handling simple lead generation. "These are the tasks digital agents can manage effectively," he says. "Our job is to help organizations offload repetitive work to AI, so their people can focus on more strategic, impactful roles. It's about making work more meaningful and more efficient." Putting Customer Success First For Salesforce, product development is driven not by guesswork, but by real-world feedback. "Everything starts with listening," Alkhotani shares. "Our user groups and customer communities are essential. Their insights go directly into our product roadmaps." This approach has paid off. The company consistently ranks high in customer satisfaction across markets. "Here in the UAE, customers are even willing to pay more up to 75–80% for a better experience," he adds. "And we're committed to delivering on that promise." A Business Platform for Change Beyond product innovation, Salesforce takes its role as a responsible corporate citizen seriously with sustainability and social impact embedded in its DNA. "They're not just values - they're core to who we are," says Alkhotani. "Even our canteen suppliers must meet strict sustainability standards." Since joining four months ago, Alkhotani has led multiple community initiatives. During Ramadan, the Salesforce UAE team organised a charity Iftar, providing over 5,200 meals to workers. The next day, they visited a school for children with special needs, engaging with students through art and creative activities. "CSR isn't an annual checkbox," he says. "It's a monthly commitment. It keeps us grounded and connected. Rethinking AI While AI adoption is accelerating in the region, Alkhotani urges companies to rethink their approach. "I see a lot of bottom-up strategies where businesses start by investing in models or infrastructure, but don't define their use cases," he explains. "That's backwards." Instead, Salesforce recommends a top-down, purpose-driven AI strategy: begin with the business need, identify pain points, and only then build the tech to support the solution. "Before spending on AI, ask yourself why," Alkhotani advises. "Start with the outcome. That's how you unlock real value." Salesforce's Agentforce, an autonomous AI application that provides specialised, always-on support to employees or customers, is at the centre of its AI strategy and Alkhotani is clearly excited about its impact. "We're not just pushing data or technology. We explore specific, high-impact use cases with our clients," he says. From predicting customer drop-off in real-time to identifying cross-sell opportunities in complex conglomerates, Agentforce uses existing customer data to recommend the next best action, making engagement smarter and more effective. "It helps employees become more knowledgeable and proactive," he says. "It sits on top of your systems as a digital agent, service rep, or business development tool - all in one." And it's fully compatible with any existing AI investments or large language models businesses might already have. Deepening Regional Roots Salesforce's commitment to the Middle East goes far beyond product deployment. "We recently opened our regional headquarters in Riyadh and launched new data centres in both the UAE and Saudi Arabia," Alkhotani shares. The company is also nurturing local talent through partnerships with educational institutions, including Princess Nourah University in Saudi Arabia, to develop digital skills aligned with market needs. Salesforce has also launched a Middle East Innovation Center with IBM, reinforcing its goal of building a self-sustaining regional ecosystem of tech innovation. "We're not here to make promises, we're here to deliver," Alkhotani says with conviction. "Every quarter, we're seeing real results. And we're just getting started."

AWS' Tanuja Randery on supporting EMEA's digital transformation and AI ambition
Image: Supplied In an insightful interview, Tanuja Randery, VP and MD EMEA at Amazon Web Services ( Gulf Business editor, Neesha Salian on the sidelines of the AWS Summit held last month in Dubai, discusses AWS's strategic commitment to the Middle East, detailing significant investments in cloud infrastructure, AI development, and talent upskilling that are driving economic transformation across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, and beyond. Randery also delves into AWS's global footprint, including the pioneering European Sovereign Cloud, and highlights key partnerships like the transformative collaboration with Saudi Arabia's AI champion, HUMAIN. From navigating regulatory challenges and fostering startup ecosystems to championing sustainability and personal leadership values, this conversation offers a comprehensive look at how AWS is empowering businesses and nations to accelerate their digital futures. To start off, let's begin with your vision for the regions you oversee — how has it evolved since you took charge around four years ago? I think this region that I have the privilege of leading across EMEA is probably the most vibrant and diverse I've ever been part of — even on a global scale. Despite the complicated situations we face, whether it's around the energy transition or geopolitical pressures, what I really love about this region is its sheer ability to keep moving forward. I spend a lot of my time in the Middle East. It's an incredible place with supportive governments, bold commitments, and clear vision. We always say transformation isn't possible without top-down commitment, and this region exemplifies that. It's also about matching that commitment with investments — in technology, infrastructure, sustainability, and people. I see that happening across the Middle East, Sub-Saharan Africa, and even in the mature markets of the UK, Germany, and France. So, since I joined, I wouldn't say the strategy has changed, but it's more about enabling our customers to leverage technology at pace and at scale — to focus not on technology for its own sake, but on technology delivering tangible business outcomes. Building on that thought — how has your footprint grown, and do you foresee it expanding even further in the next few years? Absolutely. From an Amazon and AWS perspective, we're continually growing and building AI and data centre infrastructure globally. That's because we see it as a fundamental privilege to help customers build with us. Some of the world's most critical national infrastructures — defence, banking, public services — run on AWS. So, it's vital we listen closely to market signals and invest accordingly. In the We've recently announced our upcoming region in Saudi Arabia, set to go live in 2026. And just last week, we made additional announcements focused on AI and cloud capabilities. So yes, we're monitoring the market closely and making long-term commitments. Beyond infrastructure, we're deeply invested in training and upskilling as well. We've already trained 150,000 people across the Middle East — and that's just the beginning. That's impressive. How is AWS is helping customers in the Middle East become global players? What's exciting is that our global infrastructure aligns so well with the Middle East's ambitions to be a global player. Our customers here don't just want local capabilities — they want to scale globally with consistency. We enable that by offering the same AWS core fidelity of service worldwide: the same security, scalability, and microservices, no matter where you are. The UAE's e&, for instance, recently acquired a Czech-based company ( Read: We're making significant investments across my region: GBP8bn in the UK, nearly GBP16bn in Spain, and another GBP8bn for the European sovereign cloud. These are long-term plays, and they're not just about technology — they're about job creation and economic value. PDX Data Centers and Community Amazon Web Services Photo Copyright Noah Berger / 2022 Job creation is a topic close to your heart. Tell us more about how AWS is supporting talent and smaller businesses. Job creation is incredibly important to us. But beyond just the numbers, we're really passionate about supporting startups and small-to-medium enterprises (SMEs) — they're the bedrock of innovation and economic resilience. Our investments and training programmes are designed to empower this ecosystem. We want SMEs to access the same powerful tools and infrastructure as the largest enterprises, and to grow and scale using AWS. It's what keeps this space exciting and vibrant. Give us some examples of companies you're working with globally and regionally, especially when it comes to both large enterprises and startups. Absolutely. Take CAFU, for example. They've built their entire mobile app, data warehouse, and infrastructure on AWS. With cloud, they didn't need upfront capital for infrastructure — they scaled rapidly and completely changed the way we think about fuel delivery. You don't need to visit a petrol station anymore. Then you have more established digital players like Property Finder. While the front-end of their site offers beautiful listings and images, what's really impressive is their backend use of AI and ML — especially for fraud detection and intelligent chatbots. These tools help reduce anxiety for consumers by ensuring listings are vetted and trustworthy. Another enterprise example is BT, which is using Amazon QDeveloper to boost coding efficiency, removing up to 12 per cent of tedious tasks and making their development teams more effective. What sectors are leading in cloud and Gen AI adoption, particularly in the region? Frankly, there's no sector today that can ignore Gen AI. It's transforming customer experience across the board. In retail, it's used daily — including by Amazon, which integrates AI in services like Amazon Go using 'Just Walk Out' technology. In media, it's transforming content creation and research. In financial services, we've seen tremendous uptake—First Abu Dhabi Bank is a great example. They're using both our outposts and cloud tech to speed up time-to-market for products and improve productivity by up to 60 per cent. Sports is another exciting area. We're involved in projects with F1, where we handle 1.1 million telemetry data points per second. This allows us to deliver fan insights in real time — who was the fastest, tire performance, pit strategy, etc. We've also collaborated with the Bundesliga on 'My Dream Pitch', which uses AI to let fans create their own virtual stadiums. Tell us about your new partnership with HUMAIN in Saudi Arabia. What makes it special? I'm really excited about this one. HUMAIN is the national AI champion of Saudi Arabia, and We're working together to deliver Amazon Bedrock services, Amazon Q, Amazon Connect, and a full suite of microservices. What's unique is that customers can access multiple models (like Claude, Mistral, DeepSeek) safely and securely in a virtual private cloud — without needing to manage different sign-ups or worrying about data security. We've also just introduced Tranium and Inferentia chips, which offer lower-cost and sustainable options — especially relevant as the Middle East transitions from an oil-based to a knowledge-based economy. Annapurna Labs Amazon Web Services Photo Copyright Noah Berger / 2022 You mentioned public cloud and cybersecurity. Tell us more about your partnership with e& and the UAE Sovereign Launchpad. Our infrastructure has always been sovereign by design, unlike others that treat it as an add-on. AWS Nitro, for instance, embeds security at every layer. Now, with our partnership with e& and the endorsement from the UAE Cybersecurity Council, we've enhanced our offerings to address workloads that demand higher levels of sovereignty. What's important here is data never moves unless the customer moves it. Bringing e&'s cybersecurity capabilities together with AWS's cloud and security services allows us to support highly regulated industries better than ever before. Having Dr Mohamed Al-Kuwaiti's (the head of Cyber Security for the UAE Government) endorsement reflects the trust we've built in the region. You've talked about e& and HUMAIN. Tell us about other strategic partnerships in the Middle East. Definitely. One major one is our strategic framework agreement with Aramco in Saudi Arabia. It's focused on operational efficiency and sustainability using cloud, AI, and ML. In addition, we work closely with major consulting firms like Deloitte, Accenture, and McKinsey, as part of what we call the Power of Three: AWS provides the core cloud and AI/ML infrastructure Business consultants help customers align technology with strategy System integrators ensure execution at scale This collaborative model ensures we help customers truly transform. In terms of cloud adoption in the region, what do you see as the main challenges companies face? That's a very timely question. With the massive investments coming into the region, including our own — and the potential impact of cloud and AI being around $733bn for the Middle East alone, the question is: how do we unlock that full potential? There are three core challenges: Regulatory environment: We're fortunate to operate in a region with governments that are supportive of innovation. But it's crucial to maintain a regulatory environment that allows experimentation while still protecting security and citizen rights. Some businesses find that compliance adds considerable cost. Skills shortage: This is something we're incredibly passionate about. According to our research, 43 per cent of businesses in the region report a lack of access to digital skills. You can't achieve transformation without a digitally skilled workforce. So we're investing heavily; we are training 150,000 people in MENA and Turkey so far, and 31 million globally. We also run programmes tailored for women, like our 12-week course with Coda Tech to train Emirati women. Startup funding: For startups to scale globally from here, access to venture and public funding is critical. I'm optimistic, given the number of investment funds available in the region, but it's something we all need to nurture together. My advice? Start now. Start small. Scale fast. But not leaning into this technology now is no longer an option. Tell us about the European Sovereign Cloud that AWS has launched. The European Sovereign Cloud is something we launched in partnership with the German government. Our first deployment will be in Brandenburg this year. What makes it unique is that it delivers the full range of AWS services while being governed entirely by European (specifically German) law. It will be run and operated by EU citizens and will have its own management board. It's operationally sovereign without compromising on innovation — a necessary step in today's regulatory landscape. Let's talk sustainability. What are AWS's key initiatives, especially with rising concerns around AI and energy consumption? Sustainability is at the heart of everything we do. As I mentioned earlier, Amazon is the world's largest corporate purchaser of power purchase agreements (PPAs), and we're commissioning solar and wind projects — 28 in the region, if I recall correctly. We partner closely with energy providers and governments to make these happen. Beyond renewable energy, we focus on efficiency. Our data centres are up to 4.5 times more energy efficient than average European data centres — this is backed by Accenture research. Our chips — Graviton, Trainium, Inferentia —are designed for sustainability as well. Amazon also founded the Climate Pledge, committing us and other signatories to reach net-zero carbon by 2040. So it's not just about using more energy but using it smarter and more efficiently. To end on a personal note — what are three values that guide you as a leader? The first one is ownership. I believe leaders must own the customer problems, the solutions, the employee experience — everything. That sense of responsibility is crucial, and it's a key Amazon leadership principle. The second is inclusion. Not just diversity, but true inclusion—creating environments where diverse voices are heard. At Amazon, we have a principle that 'leaders are right a lot,' which actually means they seek out perspectives that challenge their assumptions. For example, we write documents that anyone in the organisation, even the most junior member, can comment on. Leaders also speak last in meetings to encourage open dialogue. The third is vision and boldness. You need to have a North Star and the courage to take risks. But just as importantly, you need to inspire your team and create space for them to come along the journey with you.

Public-private partnerships hold the key to real estate innovation
Last month, PRYPCO celebrated a monumental milestone. After countless hours of planning, development and testing, our team launched PRYPCO Mint – the first real estate tokenisation platform in the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region. This groundbreaking initiative allows Emirates ID holders to invest in tokenised real estate in Dubai from as little as AED 2,000. By converting tangible, ready-to-own property assets into blockchain-based digital tokens, PRYPCO Mint will use fractional ownership to deliver previously unimagined levels of liquidity, transparency and accessibility to the once slow-moving real estate sector. That said, I do not intend to focus exclusively on PRYPCO Mint in this month's blog. Instead, I'll explain how public-private partnerships (PPPs) are unlocking the full potential of Dubai's real estate sector, and why it seems likely that our emirate will continue leading the world in proptech innovation. Public-private alignment While I am immensely proud of what we have achieved, it would be disingenuous to suggest that our team developed PRYPCO Mint unilaterally. On the contrary, bringing this platform to life would not have been possible without the ingenuity, diligence and dedication of myriad public and private partners. PRYPCO Mint was created in strategic partnership with the Dubai Land Department (DLD), is licensed by the Virtual Assets Regulatory Authority (VARA), and has been implemented in collaboration with the Central Bank of the United Arab Emirates (CBUAE) and the Dubai Future Foundation (DFF) as part of the Real Estate Sandbox. Its launch reinforces our emirate's long-term vision, aligning with key initiatives such as the Real Estate Evolution Space (REES) and the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33). Ctrl Alt 's advanced Web3 infrastructure powers its underlying technology, and Zand Digital Bank will act as the banking partner during the pilot phase. To say that PRYPCO Mint has been a collaborative endeavour would be an understatement. This is a prime example of what can happen when commercial ambition and regulatory foresight combine. Innovation through collaboration It is difficult to overstate the potential benefits offered by effective public-private alignment. PPPs allow policymakers and corporate leaders to de-risk innovation through checks and balances that enhance trust, governance and scalability. Regulatory frameworks, such as those provided by DLD and VARA, enable private sector players to turn concepts into reality. At the same time, commercial entities are incentivised to ensure the innovations and initiatives they bring to market contribute to the delivery of national economic strategies. When it comes to blockchain-enabled fractional ownership in the field of real estate, the figures speak for themselves. Tokenised assets are projected to account for up to 7 per cent of Dubai's property market by 2033, representing an anticipated value of $16 billion. While I'm proud that PRYPCO is playing such a central role in this journey, sustained growth remains dependent on the collective efforts of multiple public and private sector partners. A consumer-first approach Well-executed PPPs are undeniably advantageous for policymakers and business leaders alike, but – in my opinion – their true value lies in their capacity to benefit end users. While it is vital that collaboration on this level enhances infrastructure, it is arguably more important that the innovations in question maximise access. Indeed, this was one of the primary motivations behind PRYPCO Mint, which significantly lowers the barriers to entry for aspiring real estate investors. Thanks to advances in fractional ownership and related proptech innovations, a sizeable number of people who may have lacked sufficient capital to acquire built assets through traditional channels can now get a foot on Dubai's property ladder and start building their portfolios. From this perspective, PPPs don't just encourage access; they facilitate it. In addition to expediting its development and launch, the involvement of bodies such as DLD, VARA, CBUAE and DFF is pivotal in reassuring prospective customers and building brand trust. This seamless interweaving of public and private entities has resulted in a platform that will make real estate investment a realistic prospect for a whole new audience (and, potentially, a whole new generation) of consumers. Ultimately, public-private collaboration is more than a mere driver of real estate innovation; it is an essential component. PPPs demonstrate what can be achieved when commercial ambition and regulatory vision come together. Home to a community of property pioneers – both public and private – who have demonstrated their ability and willingness to show the rest of the world what is possible, Dubai epitomises this joined-up approach. As long as policymakers and business leaders continue to empower one another, I'm confident our emirate's real estate market will go from strength to strength.
