## What I'm looking for

```text
I'm looking to lead data-driven growth, logistics, or operational strategy initiatives where I can translate insights into scalable improvements, strengthen cross-functional execution, and deliver measurable business impact.
```

## About

```text
At Careem, I led growth strategy for Careem Plus in Jordan, driving 25% growth in active users and improving retention by 11.6% through segmentation and user-journey optimization.

I used A/B testing and analytics to increase transactions per user by 18%, while building executive dashboards for CAC, LTV, ARPU, and retention. I also led the launch and scaling of Box and Express services, owning pricing, configuration, and performance tracking.

Previously, I improved logistics planning and performance at Careem, achieving 99.8% supply reliability, reducing delivery time by 13%, increasing captain utilization by 12%, and delivering €1.6M in cost savings. At Talabat, I built operational frameworks and a driver support platform that reduced support contact rates by 25%.

With an Industrial Engineering background, an MBA, and certifications in Lean Six Sigma, Agile, and project management, I translate data into scalable growth and operational improvements.
