Senior product, sales and technology executive driving revenue growth and market expansion in the GCC.
What I'm looking for
I am a seasoned product, sales and technology executive with deep experience across the GCC, particularly Saudi Arabia. I have led go-to-market strategy, new product development and high-performing sales teams for regional and multinational firms.
At InfoTech Group I created the GTM for Saudi Arabia and the GCC and generated over $1M in revenue in one year. Previously I launched the MOJAZ App at Al Elm, the region's first car-history service, and led its new product development division.
I have co-founded and scaled businesses, including TecnoShift where turnover reached SAR 5M within two years and social/SEO efforts contributed nearly 50% of revenue. My background includes program and product management roles at Alcatel-Lucent and Emircom driving product launches and customer success.
I focus on strategic leadership, measurable revenue growth, and building long-term client relationships. I seek senior roles where I can leverage product, sales and technology experience to expand market presence and deliver sustained business results.
