Khaled McGonnell brings nearly twenty years of experience in technology consulting, with a deep understanding of the limitations of traditional systems integrators. Over the years, he observed that many large-scale implementations were handled with inflexible methods, often prioritizing process over outcomes and treating clients as transactions rather than collaborators. This frequently led to costly and sluggish deployments that lacked true business impact.

In response, he founded Cloud Hikers—a consultancy rooted in flexibility, practical thinking, and close business alignment. Under Khaled’s leadership, Cloud Hikers prioritizes understanding the real challenges organizations face and delivers tailored Salesforce solutions that fit naturally within business operations. His focus is on efficiency, relevance, and delivering technology that serves business goals, not the other way around.
