I also founded Avqo Ltd and co-founded Atay Trading Company, building commodity trading, sales, marketing, invoicing, and administration operations across tea, spices, and sesame exports. I'm fluent in English and a native Arabic speaker, with established commercial networks across Kenya and GCC markets.
