About

With 9+ years of experience across the Middle East, USA, Europe, and India, I’ve worked at the intersection of marketing and sales. My focus has been on driving results through inbound and outbound strategies, branding, automation, and digital outreach. I’ve crafted go-to-market strategies, led cross-functional teams, and handled everything from campaign execution and CRM automation to content creation and product branding. Whether building sales proposals or running webinars to engage prospects, I enjoy creating marketing engines that support growth. My experience spans international events, website management, email and LinkedIn campaigns, and performance tracking using platforms like HubSpot, Brevo, Zoho, Apollo, and GA4. I’ve closely collaborated with sales, customer success, and development teams to align goals and deliver measurable impact. If you’re looking for someone who blends strategy with execution and loves building brands that perform, I’d love to connect.
