From those beginnings , he now leads a team dealing with the spending of SAR7bn ( US $ 1.87bn ) a year , working alongside approximately 3000 partners across thousands of KSA projects . For a problem solver , or ‘ solution architect ’, it is an exciting time to address challenges and find better ways of operating for the business and its clients . “ This is my passion ,” he continues . “ To find a problem and solve it , and after , I feel really satisfied .”
It is through identifying and solving challenges within the business , that Hasan and his team are able to demonstrate the true value of procurement to the ambitious and growing IT provider .
Building a procurement function from the ground-up When Hasan joined solutions by stc five years ago , there was no centralised procurement function . Elements of the role were scattered across the business , in areas like delivery and finance , so he is particularly proud of the transformation they have achieved . He now feels the wider company views procurement as a ‘ partner of success ’ rather than an administrative function , such is the value it has added to the organisation .
For seven years solutions by stc has been the Kingdom ’ s leading provider of IT solutions , and prides itself in empowering both the public and private sector to rise to new trends and the ongoing demands of today ’ s digital age .
