What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role in operations or e-commerce at a growth-oriented F&B or retail company where I can optimize workflows, scale marketplace sales, lead cross-functional teams, and drive profitability within a collaborative, customer-focused culture.

I am a results-driven operations and e-commerce leader with 15+ years of experience across F&B, retail, fashion, and automotive sectors.

I have achieved +185% order growth and +130% revenue increase through marketplace management (Talabat, Jahez, Hunger Station), workflow optimization, and customer engagement. I consistently optimize operations to improve efficiency and customer satisfaction.

I manage full P&L responsibilities, inventory control, supply chain coordination, delivery zone mapping, time-slot scheduling, and POS integration, including Foodics POS. I delivered 10–15% cost savings through supplier negotiations and reduced cake preparation time from 18 minutes to 10 minutes by redesigning workflows.

I recruit, train, and lead cross-functional teams across purchasing, production, logistics, reception, and customer service to deliver operational excellence and scalable growth. I am motivated to apply these skills to drive measurable results in a growth-oriented operations or e-commerce role.
