What I'm looking for

I’m looking for a consultative talent acquisition role where I can lead mid to C-suite Hospitality & F&B hiring across MEA—using data-led mapping, strong stakeholder engagement, and remote delivery to place high-impact leaders quickly.

I’m an Executive Recruiter specializing in mid to C-suite talent across Hospitality, F&B, and Retail in MEA markets. I’ve built a track record of delivering results fast—at Food People I generated AED 305K in billings and reached 92% of my monthly targets within a short ramp-up.

Bringing a rare consultative edge from 3+ years of client-side experience managing AED 5.1M in annual key accounts, I understand what great hospitality talent looks like on the ground. I lead end-to-end executive search with talent mapping, stakeholder engagement, and offer negotiation—while delivering effectively across cross-border, remote MEA markets.
