About

Growth leader.
Systems thinker.

I don't run campaigns. I build compounding growth machines.

With 14+ years spanning fintech, crypto, real estate, e-commerce, travel and hospitality — I've led marketing at Rain.com (MENA's first licensed crypto exchange), DAMAC Group, Alibaba Group, and currently Baraka, a DFSA-regulated investing platform in Dubai.

My edge is at the intersection of data, automation, and brand. I translate complex products into clear market positions, build full-funnel acquisition systems, and wire together AI-powered workflows that let lean teams punch well above their weight.

Based in Dubai for 8+ years. Open to CMO, Head of Marketing, and VP Growth roles across the GCC and globally.
