What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead commercial growth, market expansion, and GTM execution where I can build partnerships, scalable revenue operations, and high-performing cross-functional teams across MENA or U.S. markets.

I've led commercial growth across Saudi Arabia, Egypt, the UAE, and the U.S., building market-entry plans, partnerships, pricing, forecasting, and full-cycle sales pipelines.

At 360 Business Partners, I scaled C-suite training and consulting services across Saudi Arabia and Egypt, co-launching AI, GRC, ZATCA, and financial-consulting offerings while leading an 11-person cross-functional team. At CEM Contracting, I launched and operated a U.S. venture that generated USD 150K in first-year revenue through targeted outreach, client relationships, and end-to-end deal execution.

I've also designed a 50-state GTM plan for U.S. construction-management services, built HubSpot lifecycle and lead-management operations, and coached business-development teams to turn market intelligence into new business.
