At Louvre Abu Dhabi, I support B2B partner and sales-channel performance and build business cases that contributed AED 3M+ in incremental revenue. I also use Dynamics 365 CRM and Power BI for executive reporting and the Voice of Customer programme.

At 24 Degrees (Now 2Xceed), I managed enterprise MICE accounts from proposals through delivery, generating approximately 95% repeat business and maintaining 35%+ project margins. I negotiated supplier agreements that saved around 20% on average.
