What I'm looking for

I seek a role that fosters innovation in sustainability and offers opportunities for professional growth.

I am a dynamic and results-driven professional with extensive experience in the printing and packaging industry. My journey has taken me from a Graphic Designer to a Packaging Technologist and now to a core team member in sustainability. I have a proven track record in sustainable packaging solutions, graphic design, and prepress processes, and I am passionate about driving environmental initiatives within the industry.

At Omani Packaging Co. SAOG, I spearheaded the development of the company's ESG evaluation and framework, ensuring comprehensive integration of sustainability goals across all business units. My leadership in implementing sustainable practices has significantly reduced environmental impact and increased the use of eco-friendly materials. I am committed to continuous improvement and sustainability, and I thrive in collaborative environments where I can lead cross-departmental teams to achieve shared goals.
