I build revenue, market-entry strategies, and partner networks across MENA and Africa.
LebanonWhat I'm looking for
I've helped companies develop revenue, enter markets, and build customer and partner networks across MENA and Africa for more than 15 years. At Vresso International Food Service, I contributed to $25M+ in contracts and generated more than $2M in incremental annual FMCG revenue through market penetration, distribution, and account expansion.
Across Editiec UK, Albert Products, and EGTC Group, I've led commercial growth, B2B sales, distribution expansion, strategic partnerships, key accounts, and channel development in complex African markets. I have accelerated revenue by 35%, captured an additional 28% market share, improved client acquisition by 23%, and led cross-functional teams of more than 170 people.
I work best where a strong product needs local market development, relationship access, prospecting, and commercial execution.
