Message

As an independent partnerships and business development consultant across EMEA, I develop market-entry and partnership strategies for clients in Europe, the Middle East, and Africa. At Lectrobar El-Habashy, I contributed to the EU-funded CBI Netherland and Work–Innovate–Export projects, preparing proposals, compliance documentation, and stakeholder reports.

During the Ukraine crisis, I coordinated evacuation and emergency assistance for more than 200 people, working with local authorities and international and non-governmental organizations. I also managed humanitarian relief efforts that served more than 650 Syrian refugees and supported accountability systems for more than 1,200 cases.
