Message

At Prosecco Beirut, I identify potential clients and partners across hospitality and events, develop partnership opportunities, and support brand communications. I also research industry trends and opportunities to improve business processes and event coordination.

At Strategy& (formerly Booz and Company), part of PWC, I coordinated finance and business operations, prepared financial analysis and reporting, and managed corporate card operations for 950+ employees. I implemented cost optimization initiatives that saved approximately USD 20K monthly and supported process improvements that reduced bank posting and reporting time.
