What I'm looking for

I'm looking to bring my key account, sponsorship activation, digital marketing, SEO, and web development experience to client-facing commercial and brand-growth work.

I'm a commercial and marketing professional with 10+ years managing key accounts, negotiating contracts, and delivering brand activations across sports, live events, and consumer brands in the Middle East. At SPORTFIVE I led activations for the UAE Pro League, Qatar Star League, and global partners like Logitech G and Genesis. I've since moved to Bogotá, Colombia, where I run freelance SEO and web development projects, including a technical SEO consultancy for VIIO, a Colombian fintech, and co-founded Essentriale, a wellness and specialty-food retail brand. I'm fluent in English, native in Arabic, and building conversational Spanish. I'm interested in roles at the intersection of commercial strategy, digital marketing, and AI-assisted growth.
