Simon Contini - CTOA FBCI MBCP

I have built my career around resilience, innovation, and leadership. Over the years, I’ve worked extensively in product management and business continuity, helping organizations align with global standards and future-ready strategies. My professional journey includes serving as President and Leader of the BCI UAE Chapter, where I spearhead initiatives to foster collaboration, academic engagement, and Emirati participation in resilience programs aligned with UAE Vision 2030.
I am proud to hold globally recognized certifications, including FBCI (Fellow of the Business Continuity Institute), MBCP (Master Business Continuity Professional), ISO 22301 certification, and advanced credentials in AI and prompt engineering. These qualifications reflect my commitment to excellence in resilience and emerging technologies.
Beyond my professional role, I actively contribute to the global resilience community through Special Interest Groups (SIGs) focused on AI and cyber resilience, shaping thought leadership and best practices for the future. I also serve as an awards judge for international competitions, supporting innovation and mentoring students and professionals to achieve their potential.
Currently, I am pursuing my MBA, expected to complete by the end of 2026, which complements my technical and leadership expertise. This academic journey underscores my dedication to continuous learning and inspiring the next generation of leaders.
