About

I build and scale commercial and sales operations across Saudi Arabia and the GCC. With over 20 years of experience in real estate, PropTech, logistics, flexible workspaces, and business services, I have led large sales organizations, managed business-unit P&L, developed new revenue streams, and delivered measurable commercial growth. At Bayut KSA, I established the property transaction sales function when the company had no brokerage commission revenue. I built an organization of 214 sales consultants, supported by 11 sales managers and more than 11 team leaders. The business grew to approximately SAR 4–5 million in monthly brokerage commissions, reaching SAR 7 million at its peak. At Regus, I held full P&L responsibility for four business centres generating approximately SAR 30 million in combined annual revenue. I increased occupancy from 60% to 95% in the first year, achieved monthly EBIT margins of 30–40% against company targets of 20–25%, and introduced initiatives generating an estimated SAR 2–3 million in additional annual revenue. Other key achievements include: • iMile Logistics: Increased monthly shipment volume from 2,000 to 11,000, restructured the sales organization, and established a dedicated telesales team. • Ajlan & Bros: Led a commercial turnaround, increasing property occupancy from approximately 60% to 98%, building sales and telesales teams, and introducing Microsoft Dynamics CRM to modernize sales operations. • DAMAC Properties: Managed international broker-channel activities across Saudi Arabia, Qatar, Kuwait, Bahrain, and Oman. Developed a network of more than 300 registered brokers and generated over SAR 100 million in property sales across three years. My leadership approach combines commercial strategy with hands-on execution. I focus on building accountable teams, improving profitability, strengthening sales performance, and developing scalable commercial operations. My areas of expertise include General Management, P&L Leadership, Commercial Strategy, Revenue Growth, Sales Transformation, Business Development, Market Expansion, and Organizational Development.
