What I'm looking for

I’m looking to lead operations and B2B growth in a fast-paced environment—owning P&L, building high-performing cross-functional teams, and delivering complex projects with measurable cost and performance improvements.

I’m an Operations Director with 18+ years of experience leading Senior Operations and Business Development across Facility Management, Events, Contracting, and FMCG in the UAE. I drive operational excellence, revenue growth, and strategic expansion through P&L ownership, disciplined execution, and high-accountability teams.

In my current role at Dr. Vapes UAE & Remotly, I lead MENA business development—acquiring key accounts and strengthening market position—while supporting market penetration through distributor management and commercial performance. I also oversee full project lifecycles, including the Panther X project, translating plans into budgets, staffing models, and successful delivery.

Earlier roles strengthened my operational impact: I reduced operational costs by up to 30%, built annual maintenance and life-cycle replacement programs, and ensured HSE compliance through strong governance. I also founded and scaled a company into three UAE branches, achieved Dubai Municipality Class A Gold accreditation, and led multi-function operations spanning Operations, Sales, Customer Service, Administration, and Finance.
