What I'm looking for

I'm seeking a Senior Executive or Manager role in export sales and business development within F&B, HORECA, or FMCG, where I can drive international growth, buyer acquisition, trade compliance, and end-to-end export execution.

I currently drive export sales and business development at Global Biz Exim, expanding international markets for F&B and frozen seafood products while onboarding genuine buyers.

I lead sourcing, supplier evaluation, pricing, export documentation, certifications, compliance, and coordination with logistics, inspection agencies, freight forwarders, CHAs, and shipping lines.

Previously, I spent nearly a decade at Gulf Center Cosmetics Manufacturing in Dubai, developing export sales, supporting multinational clients, and managing English and Arabic export documentation, regulatory compliance, shipment tracking, and VAT return files.

My earlier work in procurement, customs clearance, import operations, and shipping has built a practical foundation in supplier negotiation, customs documentation, freight coordination, and reliable delivery across international trade.
