What I'm looking for

I seek a senior role driving strategic partnerships and business growth within collaborative, impact-driven teams where I can lead cross-functional initiatives and deliver measurable ROI.

I am a results-driven strategic partnerships and relationship manager with over 11 years' experience working across the GCC with leading corporates, government entities, and academic partners.

I have led teams and managed portfolios from inception to execution, negotiating and delivering partnership agreements that produced sustained revenue growth and high retention.

As Head of Business Solutions I doubled program delivery and maintained customer satisfaction above 90%; at HEC Paris I delivered +30% year-on-year revenue growth through targeted corporate initiatives.

I combine financial acumen, stakeholder engagement, change management and cross-functional leadership to build enduring collaborations that optimize ROI and drive service excellence.
