Marian Ali

I am a Business Development Manager with an engineering background who focuses on making operations more efficient and delivering measurable growth. I combine technical testing experience with market-focused strategy to improve client acquisition and retention.

At Farshan & Co I refined business processes and client engagement strategies that contributed to a 20% increase in the company’s client base. I lead cross-functional initiatives and use market research to identify opportunities for expansion and operational improvement.

Previously, as a Technical Engineer and Head of Photometry, I managed development testing, regulatory compliance, and calibration programmes using specialised lighting test equipment. I have overseen teams, written technical reports to tight deadlines, and supported R&D and product development activities.

I volunteer in fundraising, organising events and leading volunteers to raise substantial funds, and I bring strong interpersonal and leadership skills to commercial and technical roles. I hold an engineering degree and consistently deliver customer-focused solutions that balance technical rigour with business outcomes.
