Sumaya AQIL

I’m a Communications, Media, and Learning & Development professional with 12+ years of experience across corporate, educational, training, and consulting environments in Saudi Arabia and Jordan.

My career sits at the intersection of strategic communication, people development, media, PR, marketing, and learning. I have worked in roles ranging from communications and marketing to team leadership, professional training, and consultancy, giving me the ability to understand both how organizations communicate and how people learn and develop.

Throughout my career, I have designed and delivered training programs in communication, media literacy, public speaking, presentation skills, debate, Training of Trainers (ToT), PR, and professional communication. I have trained diverse audiences ranging from students and educators to corporate professionals, and I have experience supporting training initiatives connected to major organizations, including Saudi Aramco.

On the communications side, I have experience developing communication and marketing strategies, managing campaigns and events, strengthening organizational positioning, coordinating PR and media activities, and helping organizations structure their communication, PR, media, and marketing functions. I have also led multidisciplinary teams and managed projects from initial analysis and strategy through implementation.

Academically, I hold a Master’s degree in New Journalism & Media and a Bachelor’s degree in TV & Radio, complemented by 20+ professional certificates, including multiple Training of Trainers certifications and BBC training.

I’m particularly interested in remote opportunities where I can combine strategic thinking, communication, learning, and people development. I’m open to roles in Learning & Development, Corporate Training, Learning Experience, Communications, Internal Communications, PR, Media, Content Strategy, Program Management, Curriculum Development, and related areas.

I enjoy roles where I can analyze challenges, build systems and strategies, develop people, create meaningful learning experiences, and turn complex ideas into clear communication. I’m especially interested in organizations that value continuous learning, innovation, collaboration, and measurable impact.
