I build enterprise AI, data, and software revenue across global markets.
What I'm looking for
I'm building Uber AI Solutions' enterprise business across the Middle East and selected global accounts, bringing Uber's AI, data, Maps, autonomy, and human-in-the-loop capabilities to external customers.
I launched an enterprise offering from an internal Uber Maps capability, defining its proposition, pricing, licensing, API and service model, SLAs, delivery requirements, and legal-commercial structure. I've built $4M+ in enterprise pipeline against a $2.5M annual target while leading strategic pursuits from discovery through contracting.
Previously at NowVertical Group, I closed enterprise contracts with Lloyds Bank, NAOS, Menarini Group, and Zurich Insurance, contributing to 25% quarterly revenue growth and an 80% client renewal rate. I also secured $5M in enterprise revenue and increased service adoption by 90% through recurring AI and data engagements.
Across CNTXT, Smartlytics Consultancy, Branex Tech International, and InterContinental Hotels Group, I've grown strategic accounts, commercialized technology solutions, and led complex negotiations. I work fluently in Arabic and English with C-suite, technical, procurement, and delivery stakeholders.
