What I'm looking for

I'm looking to build and scale enterprise AI, data, and software businesses, leading strategic accounts, product commercialization, and complex go-to-market opportunities across international markets.

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.
