What I'm looking for
I’m an enterprise-facing Account Executive and customer success professional with 8+ years across SaaS, AdTech, digital solutions, and smart-tech B2B environments. I specialize in executive stakeholder management, success planning, renewals support, and expansion strategy across EMEA and GCC markets, using data-led account development to drive retention and growth.
I bring measurable commercial impact—25–35% annual qualified pipeline growth and 22% lead generation improvement in 6 months—along with hands-on Salesforce use and AI-enabled, analytics-driven workflows. From Amazon Ads to UAE education and real estate verticals, I build tailored business cases, lead consultative discovery, coordinate cross-functional alignment, and keep pipeline and forecasts accurate across HubSpot and Zoho.
