What I'm looking for

I seek a growth-focused role in business development or client success where I can lead teams, optimize CRM-driven processes, drive scalable lead generation, and contribute to international expansion while continuing professional development.

I am a Business Development Manager with experience driving revenue growth and client retention for digital marketing and remote hiring platforms across Pakistan, Canada, the UK and the US.

At Reach First and Worktually I led sales and support teams, generated hundreds of qualified leads (400+ in one outreach campaign; 80–100 monthly at Worktually), secured international retainers, improved proposal acceptance, and reduced client onboarding time from 10 to 7 days through CRM and process improvements.

I hold a Bachelor (Hons) in Business Administration with numerous distinctions and am completing an International MBA; I focus on strategic sales, CRM optimization, cross-functional collaboration and scalable client success frameworks to help companies grow.
