He has helped shape the company's strategic direction and, under his leadership and guidance, Path Solutions has achieved tremendous growth and success by developing truly world-class Sharia-based software solutions that enable Islamic banks to remain competitive and stay abreast of customer needs.

When Mohammed took the helm, he identified several organizational priorities and started a restructuring plan aimed at building qualified and skilled teams capable of delivering today's ground-breaking integrated software solutions and services to the Islamic financial marketplace.

"I am deeply honored to be named 'Islamic Finance Technology CEO of the Year', representing our 500+ team members, who quietly but effectively play a significant role in shaping the Islamic financial services sector", said Mohammed Kateeb. "The opportunity to lead this organization during such a dynamic and fast-changing time across the global tech industry is exciting. We are here to bring innovations through industry-focused technologies that empower our clients to do amazing things", he concluded.

He has been instrumental in driving several group transformational initiatives and cultivating a powerful culture of reward and recognition. With a laser focus on innovation and quality, he has rapidly positioned Path Solutions as the World's Number One Islamic Banking Software Provider and the dominant player in its field. Since then, the company has been widely acclaimed by international research and analyst firms such as Gartner, Forrester, TowerGroup, Celent, Aite Group and IBS Intelligence", commented James Abbott from the editorial department of Business Worldwide.
