What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead data-driven digital growth and client strategy across MENA, combining paid media, full-funnel optimization, commercial planning, and team leadership to deliver measurable business outcomes.

At CROUD, I lead digital media strategy across MENA markets, turning client objectives into acquisition, engagement, and app-growth plans. I've managed multi-million-dollar paid media investments across Google, Meta, Snapchat, and other platforms.

My data-led strategies delivered 370% year-over-year app monthly active user growth, 11% growth in Share of Brand Search, and 44% growth in Share of Traffic. I've also reduced CPC by 50% and CPM by 38%, generating approximately $1.3M and $822K in media cost savings respectively.

Before CROUD, I led marketing and business development at Medya Diagnostic Center and progressed through commercial, marketing, sales, and capability roles at Abbott Nutrition. I bring 14+ years across MENA marketing, commercial growth, client leadership, and team development, supported by an MBA.
