What I'm looking for

I seek a leadership role in retail operations where I can optimize inventory, lead and develop teams, improve customer experience, and drive profitable growth in a collaborative, performance-driven company.

I am an accomplished operations manager with proven success in retail operations, inventory control, and leading cross-functional teams to achieve sales targets and high customer satisfaction. I drive operational efficiency while fostering creative, performance-oriented environments.

At Metro Pakistan I led Electronics, DIY, Sports and Supplies departments, optimizing inventory and product assortment to reduce stock shortages by 10% and deliver a 15% revenue increase through strategic pricing and promotions.

I have led large teams—mentoring up to 35 employees—managed major events like an annual Electronics Gala that boosted engagement, and contributed to 235% growth over a three-year tenure, including a nationwide cash prize win.

I hold an MBA in Marketing and a BBA (Hons.), completed certifications in sales and store operations, and I prioritize data-driven decisions, vendor negotiation, and customer-focused merchandising to drive profitable growth.
