What I'm looking for

I am looking for a role that offers growth opportunities, a collaborative culture, and the chance to leverage my financial expertise.

I am a multilingual financial and sales professional with over 15 years of experience in the US and Morocco markets. My expertise lies in financial management, investments, and business development, where I have successfully contributed to managing over $5 billion in assets. I pride myself on my ability to communicate effectively and lead teams, having built strong relationships with government representatives and executives of foreign companies.

Throughout my career, I have made significant contributions, such as budgeting $3 billion for the creation of Africa's third-largest cargo airport, directly collaborating with Morocco's Ministry of Finance. My sales acumen is demonstrated by my success in increasing product line sales for a major retailer from $1 million to $2.3 million annually. I am passionate about enhancing products based on customer feedback and market competition, ensuring that my teams consistently meet and exceed sales expectations.
