I deliver complex exhibition and event builds from design through client handover.
United Arab EmiratesWhat I'm looking for
I've delivered exhibition, event, and branded installation projects for Electra Exhibitions across DWTC, ADNEC, and major UAE venues, including Italian National Pavilions, Cartier installations, Token 2049, and Ataya for UAE Red Crescent. I manage the full lifecycle from design coordination and authority approvals to on-site execution and client handover.
Across more than 20 years in project delivery, logistics, aviation, and hospitality, I've led cross-functional teams, controlled budgets from AED 100K to over AED 1M, negotiated supplier contracts, and built strong client relationships. I also bring operational leadership from freight operations for UPS, DB Schenker, and Kuehne + Nagel, alongside extensive client-service experience in international hospitality.
