What I'm looking for

I’m interested in remote business development, strategic partnerships, customer success, or operations roles with international organizations and technology-driven businesses, particularly in automotive technology and Middle East market development.

I founded Eddy Auto Detailing in Lebanon and lead its automotive smart-repair and detailing operations, client relationships, and vendor partnerships. I drive business development and client acquisition while sustaining and growing the business in a volatile economic environment.

At Spark / Publinet Group, I led strategic partnerships with the Road and Transport Authority and Community Development Authority, and played a leading role in securing three Dubai Lynx awards for the CDA Child Protection Campaign. My experience also includes account management at Saatchi & Saatchi and DDB Worldwide, and managing business relationships at Euro RSCG.
