Open to opportunities

Ruslan Bashirov

@ruslanbashirov

I build B2B sales pipelines, partner networks, and commercial revenue across financial services and automotive markets.

I've built sales and business-development frameworks at Lease To Own Car Rental, generating AED 5M+ in monthly activated lease value and establishing a 30+ dealer, insurer, and service-partner network. I manage opportunities from discovery and proposal structuring through negotiation, approval, and activation.

Previously, I led relationship management at BMW Financial Services, helping drive approximately 30% year-on-year sales growth and sustained 40%+ penetration. At Dubizzle Cars, I established its Value-Added Services function and generated approximately AED 3.3M in annual revenue; at Emirates NBD, I averaged approximately 120% of annual sales targets across lending and retail-banking products.
