I help food businesses and agribusiness leaders turn product ideas into market-ready, compliant products and build strategies for local and international market access. With 15+ years in food production and business development, I specialize in bridging product innovation with market entry and growth. From concept and R&D to packaging, labeling, certification, and trade facilitation, I ensure businesses don’t just develop great products — they get them into the right markets. I’ve worked with international agencies like USAID and UNDP, as well as private-sector partners across Egypt, Jordan, Tunisia, Afghanistan, Dubai, Tajikistan, Lebanon, and the U.S. My contributions have included: Product Development: guiding SMEs through ideation, packaging, food safety compliance, and product launches.
