Lebanon

Message

At MetLife Lebanon, I monitor and motivate the sales team, review pipeline and forecasts, and coach team members on consultative selling and closing strategies.

At Qudwa Industrial, I managed and expanded a portfolio of 20+ major FMCG clients across Saudi Arabia. I increased quarterly revenue by 20%+ through strategic account expansion and maintained a 95%+ client retention rate.

At Qatar Vision Productions, I managed international events including FIFA World Cup 2022 ceremonies and global summits. I coordinated vendors, production crews, logistics, and client stakeholders, and oversaw budgets, timelines, permits, and on-site delivery.

Earlier, I supported project delivery at MAYBE FILMS and managed client accounts and the sales cycle at Magenta Printing Services. I hold a BA in Marketing from Notre Dame University – Louaize.
