AWS Names SUDO Consultants Rising Star Consulting Partner of the Year 2026
SUDO Consultants has been named the winner of the Rising Star Consulting Partner of the Year award at the 2026 Regional AWS Partner Awards for the Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region.
The award recognises significant year-on-year growth in consulting services delivered by an Amazon Web Services (AWS) partner. The winners were announced during the AWS Partner Summit in Dubai.
SUDO CEO Hameedullah Khan and COO Faisal Saleem received the award on behalf of the company.
Recognition for Cloud and AI Growth
SUDO Consultants, an AWS Premier Tier Services Partner, has expanded its services across cloud migration and modernisation, managed services, DevOps, resilience, SAP and agentic artificial intelligence over the past year.
The company has also expanded its presence in Saudi Arabia by scaling its Riyadh office, supporting its efforts to serve enterprise and public sector customers across the region.
Its services focus on helping organisations develop secure, scalable and sovereign-ready solutions using AWS cloud infrastructure.
Company Leadership Highlights Customer Trust
SUDO CEO Hameedullah Khan said the recognition reflects the commitment of the company's employees and the trust of its customers.
He highlighted the company's work helping organisations across the MENA region modernise their operations, strengthen resilience and turn artificial intelligence plans into practical business outcomes.
COO Faisal Saleem also emphasised the role of engineers, architects and operations teams in delivering consistent services to customers.
The company said it plans to continue working with AWS to support customers across the region.
Supporting Enterprise Cloud Transformation
SUDO Consultants has worked with organisations on cloud transformation projects, including data centre migration and modernisation.
Syed Kareemuddin, IT operations and cybersecurity manager at Coca-Cola Bottling Company of Saudi Arabia, said SUDO helped the company complete a data centre exit to AWS without downtime or disruption to its round-the-clock operations.
The project highlights the importance of careful planning, reliability and continuity when organisations move critical systems to cloud infrastructure.
How the AWS Partner Awards Are Evaluated
The Regional AWS Partner Awards recognise partners that demonstrate specialisation, innovation and collaboration while helping customers make use of AWS technologies.
According to the published announcement, winners were evaluated using performance metrics covering the previous year. Canalys audited the underlying datasets to help ensure the measurements and calculations were objective and accurate.
The awards form part of the AWS Partner Network, a global programme designed to help partners innovate, accelerate cloud adoption and deliver solutions using AWS services.
Focus on Cloud Services and Artificial Intelligence
SUDO's latest recognition reflects its growth across cloud services, enterprise modernisation and AI-related solutions in the MENA region.
As organisations increasingly invest in digital transformation, cloud infrastructure and AI capabilities, consulting partners play an important role in helping businesses modernise systems, improve operational resilience and implement technology solutions.
The award marks a milestone for SUDO Consultants as it continues to develop its AWS practice and expand its regional presence.
