What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead GCC-focused business growth, enterprise sales, go-to-market strategy, and revenue teams, with ownership of new-business acquisition, strategic accounts, partner development, and sustainable commercial growth.

I've led commercial growth, enterprise sales, and business operations across India, Qatar, and the UAE, with approximately $22.8M in recorded sales contributions across my roles.

At TechClub Inc, I lead operations and client acquisition across US and Indian IT recruitment and bench sales, contributing to 100+ candidate placements while mentoring recruiters, lead-generation teams, SEO specialists, and business development staff.

Previously, I drove revenue and strategic accounts at SimTek, Quadrant Systems, WiziQ, Global Technology Solutions, and Xeratek—building new-account pipelines, positioning technology solutions, and engaging CEOs, CXOs, CTOs, IT leaders, and procurement teams.
