What I'm looking for

I seek a growth-oriented role where I can apply marketing and procurement expertise, lead teams, and drive measurable business growth in a collaborative, performance-driven environment.

I am a Business Administration graduate (Marketing) from the University of London with hands-on experience across marketing, procurement, and sales. I combine strategic marketing, digital campaign execution, and supplier negotiation to drive measurable results.

As a practical operator, I have managed procurement for paint production, run digital marketing campaigns, and led sales teams—while founding multiple ventures including a chemical trading business and a sportswear brand. I emphasize cost-effective sourcing, brand visibility, and operational efficiency.

I am entrepreneurial, analytically minded, and people-focused, seeking to leverage my marketing knowledge, procurement expertise, and leadership skills to help a growth-oriented organization scale its operations and market presence.
