What I'm looking for

I seek roles in outcome-focused tech firms leading global GTM and revenue—building repeatable growth systems, cross-cultural teams, and strategic partnerships.

I am a growth strategist who thrives at the intersection of data, narrative, and market expansion, with 25+ years building GTM and revenue engines across the U.S., GCC, Africa, and India. I specialize in creating data-informed GTM playbooks, proving unit economics, and securing early anchor customers to enable repeatable scale.

As Chief Growth Officer and senior commercial leader, I have led international launches, built scalable revenue models, and forged strategic partnerships across multiple regions. I have a track record of taking platforms from zero to first customers, validating large market opportunities, and driving breakthrough unit economics.

I bring a P&L mindset, regional fluency, and experience building high-performance teams and channel ecosystems. I am eager to partner with outcome-focused technology firms building globally and turn growth into a repeatable system.
