Message

I am a Cypriot operations and commercial leader with 14+ years in health, wellness and fitness across Cyprus and the UAE.

I founded Domination Ltd in Cyprus and ran it for seven years across two sites with full P&L ownership. Revenue grew from about €230K to over €600K, I led a team of 12 coaches, 3 physiotherapists and 2 massage therapists, secured a €250K investor and built partnerships with Adidas, Nike and Privé Sports. During COVID I moved the business into rehabilitation and injury prevention, which kept both sites open and trading.

In the UAE I was Head Coach and Operations Manager at Be Strong in Dubai, led the VIP department at The Bridge Lifestyle Hub in Abu Dhabi (30+ members worth over AED 3M a year, retention above 85%), and managed a team of 12 as Operations Manager at Axilium Property Management. Most recently at Core Velocity (OxeFit UAE) I built a pipeline of over AED 5.5M and closed AED 496K in deals with two hospitals and a sports club.

I am looking for remote roles in partnerships, business development, account management, operations or Chief of Staff, where I can help a growing company scale its commercial side and keep operations running smoothly.
