What I'm looking for

I'm looking to lead commercial growth, transformation, digital commerce, and international expansion initiatives, particularly in luxury retail and consumer businesses across the GCC.

I built The 1916 Company’s Middle East joint venture with Ahmed Seddiqi & Sons from a greenfield launch into a profitable $30M operation within 36 months, with sustained triple-digit growth across the UAE and Saudi Arabia.

I led full regional P&L accountability spanning revenue, finance, operations, inventory, logistics, marketing, and customer experience. I also reduced operating costs by 20% through logistics redesign, process optimisation, and inventory improvements.

At Chalhoub Group, I transformed Beauty & Fragrances eCommerce into a high-growth regional platform, increasing online revenue by 80% and conversion by 250%. Earlier, I co-founded GLAMOO and scaled it to €30M with more than 2.5 million registered users before its acquisition.

Across Accenture Strategy, luxury retail, and digital marketplaces, I’ve led growth strategy, operating-model design, market entry, partnerships, M&A support, and organisational transformation across Europe and the GCC.
