What I'm looking for

I seek a dynamic role that fosters growth, collaboration, and innovative project management.

I am a results-driven Business Development Manager with a strong background in project management and leadership. My experience spans across various industries, where I have successfully managed cross-functional teams to deliver global expansion projects on time and within budget. At Chrysaliis FZE, I led the development of market entry strategies for multinational clients, navigating regulatory and cultural challenges in emerging markets. My ability to conduct thorough risk assessments and develop effective mitigation strategies has minimized disruptions and ensured smooth transitions into new markets.

Previously, as a Junior Project Manager at Centurion Concierge Services Limited, I coordinated with contractors and stakeholders to ensure project completion within deadlines while maintaining compliance with safety regulations and quality standards. My role as Sales Team Lead at EE further honed my leadership skills, where I managed a team of 10, driving sales through effective research campaigns and maintaining a high sales conversion rate. I am passionate about fostering effective communication within teams and aligning strategic goals to achieve business growth.
