International operations and global mobility leader, scaling Cnaya Travels for seamless cross-border relocation.
What I'm looking for
I’m an international operations professional and entrepreneur with 8+ years of experience across global mobility, cross-border documentation, international recruitment, and high-value client services. I founded and scaled Cnaya Travels from zero into a globally active consultancy, placing clients across the Middle East, Canada, and China through travel, recruitment, university admissions, and relocation—while facilitating investor and business visas for entrepreneurs entering high-growth Gulf markets.
I’ve led high-pressure guest operations as Guest Operations and Embarkation Supervisor at FIFA World Cup Qatar 2022 with MSC Cruises, where I supervised a 50-person team serving 1,000+ international guests daily, delivering discreet white-glove service to VIPs and high-net-worth clientele with zero margin for error. I also run cross-border import and e-commerce operations end-to-end, handling supplier sourcing, customs documentation, logistics coordination, and customer support across time zones—turning complex compliance and execution into consistent outcomes.
