What I'm looking for

I’m looking for an APAC/MENA B2B SaaS role where I can own the full sales cycle, run C-level QBRs, grow net dollar retention, and build new markets end to end with clear targets and support.

I’m a B2B SaaS Account Executive with 4+ years closing $1.3M+ ARR across APAC, MENA, Pakistan, and Sub-Saharan Africa. I own the full book of business end to end with no handoff, focused on retention, expansion, and consistent execution.

In my current role at Call Center Studio, I manage 35 enterprise and SMB accounts covering onboarding, adoption, QBRs, renewals, and upsell. I drive net dollar retention, keep churn below 3%, and grow accounts 32% YoY—finishing 165% above annual quota.

I’m comfortable navigating complex enterprise cycles and C-level conversations across financial services, energy, and telecom. I build markets from zero, identify at-risk accounts early, restructure commercial terms, and convert short-cycle customers into longer contracts through ROI-focused proposals.

I’ve also developed pipeline and outbound motions using Apollo, RocketReach, LinkedIn Sales Navigator, HubSpot, Salesforce, and Zoho, generating 20+ qualified meetings per month. From zero, I opened Sub-Saharan Africa across South Africa, Kenya, and Uganda ($150K new revenue), recruited 15+ channel partners at GITEX ($250K+ indirect revenue), and led strategic QBRs with decision makers at MCB Bank, K Electric, TCS, AEG, and US Mobile.
