What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a progressive company where I can lead international marketing and sales strategy—using market intelligence to shape export deals, bids, and campaigns—while contributing my experience, creativity, and hard work to deliver measurable growth.

I bring a unique blend of local, regional, and international sales, marketing, research, business development, and corporate communications, with over 16 years of experience across E-internet, E-commerce, E-marketing, B2B, high-tech, and professional services. I’m also grounded in hybrid knowledge management and corporate marketing, turning insight into action.

Since November 2016, I’ve served as a Marketing & Sales Executive at Gulf Paramount for Electrical Services Company, handling marketing business development, intelligence analysis, local and international sales, and marketing campaigns and plans. I support the export business with the Export Manager across sales, projects, and tenders, with reporting to the General and Technical Managers, and I organize company registration and participation in local, regional, and international exhibitions. I’ve helped secure regional and international business deals and opportunities.

Earlier, as a Marketing Intelligence and Marketing & Export Executive at Refrigeration Industries Company (RIC/Coolex), I managed export sales and projects, supported tenders and revenue reporting, and expanded market presence—opening multiple countries through targeted research and outreach. Before that, I built business development capability in logistics and shipping, and also handled IT sales and maintenance—strengthening my ability to communicate clearly, prepare professional documentation, and close deals across diverse industries.
