In a region striving to reclaim its place in the global innovation race, Lebanon stands at a pivotal juncture. The push for modernization requires not just ambition—but systems, strategy, and seasoned leadership. At the intersection of these demands is Wassim Hassanieh, a Lebanese technology entrepreneur whose work spans continents but is now returning with purpose to contribute to Lebanon’s digital revival.

As Founder of CloudTaktiks and Magnar Systems, and co-founder of the recently acquired Procons-4IT, Hassanieh has built a reputation for architecting intelligent, scalable solutions that blend cloud infrastructure, AI capabilities, and enterprise integration.

With over two decades of experience leading technology transformations across the Middle East, Africa, Europe, and Latin America, Wassim now joins the AI in Lebanon Conference 2025 to help chart a national roadmap for responsible, business-driven AI adoption.

“AI can’t just be about buzz—it must solve real problems, at scale, with governance and security at the core,” he asserts.

His flagship platform, Magnar Systems, is redefining human capital management and payroll with AI-enhanced automation and compliance across borders. Meanwhile, CloudTaktiks is equipping organizations to leverage secure, cloud-native AI strategies integrated with global platforms like SAP, Oracle, and Microsoft.

But for Hassanieh, Lebanon is more than just a market—it’s a mission.

“Lebanon has the talent, the diaspora, and the energy. What it needs now is confidence, policy clarity, and local-global collaboration to fuel real digital transformation,” he says.

At the AI in Lebanon Conference, Wassim will lead discussions around enterprise-grade AI, cross-border cloud systems, and how Lebanese companies can build global-ready platforms from within. His presence reflects the conference’s core goal: not just showcasing innovation, but embedding it into Lebanon’s business and institutional fabric.

“We need to move from ambition to architecture,” he notes.
“AI and cloud are the tools—what Lebanon needs now is execution.”

With a rare blend of regional insight and global expertise, Wassim Hassanieh offers more than thought leadership—he brings tested systems, proven strategy, and an unwavering belief in Lebanon’s digital potential.

As the country prepares to host global experts and local innovators this July, leaders like Wassim represent the bridge between vision and viability—between what Lebanon is today, and what it can become.
