Greetings, I’m Sulal. I am a Technical Sales & Business Development Engineer with over 6 years of international experience in the satellite communications industry, combining strong technical expertise with strategic sales and customer engagement capabilities.

My career began in Network Operations and VSAT engineering, where I gained hands-on experience in GEO satellite operations, RF planning, link budgeting, hub installations, and ground station maintenance. I have worked extensively with iDirect, Comtech Heights, NEC systems, and various VSAT technologies, managing 500+ carriers, commissioning hubs, and executing large-scale antenna installations across multiple earth stations.

Building on this solid technical foundation, I transitioned into EMEA Technical Sales and Customer Support, where I successfully bridge the gap between engineering and business. I specialize in identifying opportunities, designing tailored network architectures, responding to RFPs/RFQs, conducting live product demonstrations, negotiating contracts, and delivering complete project lifecycles — from initial consultation to installation, commissioning, and post-sales support.

Currently working with INTEGRASYS S.A., I manage sales and customer support activities across Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. I have successfully delivered and installed solutions in countries including Egypt, Pakistan, UAE (Abu Dhabi), Oman, Saudi Arabia, France, and Algeria. I have also represented the company at major international exhibitions such as Satellite Technology Conference (STC) and CABSAT.

I hold a Bachelor of Science in Electrical Engineering from University of Engineering and Technology, Taxila and possess professional certifications including GVF SATCOM programs and specialized Integrasys product training.

My strength lies in combining deep RF and satellite systems knowledge with consultative selling, customer-centric communication, and strategic business development. I am passionate about delivering technically sound, commercially viable solutions that create long-term value for clients and organizations alike.

Beyond my professional life, I am passionate about hunting, bodybuilding, learning about different cultures, and meeting new people. Traveling and interacting with diverse communities have strengthened my adaptability and global mindset, which directly supports my work across international markets.
