Mejdi Kraiem
@mejdikraiem
International business development consultant driving strategic partnerships and global market expansion.
What I'm looking for
I’m an International Business Development and Strategic Partnerships professional focused on identifying growth opportunities and building high-value alliances across complex, multicultural environments. I bridge technical innovation with commercial strategy to translate complex solutions into clear market opportunities and long-term revenue growth.
Currently, I lead partnership development efforts in Argentina as a Strategic Partnerships & Business Development Consultant, building a local pipeline of football clubs and sports performance institutions. I identify and engage potential partners, initiate discussions, and support structuring project-based commercial agreements that can scale into pilot programs and long-term collaborations.
Previously, as a Key Account Manager at Polifarma İlaç International, I managed international business operations across APAC, MENA, and West Africa—coordinating distributors, regulatory authorities, and logistics partners. I led market entry and product deployment strategies in highly regulated pharmaceutical markets, negotiated long-term commercial frameworks with global distributors and institutional partners, and improved performance and forecasts to grow revenue from $4M to $9M+. Earlier, as an Export Sales Specialist, I built international operations from the ground up across the Middle East and APAC, owning distributor onboarding, compliance readiness, market intelligence, partner assessments, and cross-border commercial activation.
