My career has been primarily focused on performance marketing and digital acquisition, building and optimising multi-channel campaigns across paid media, e-commerce and app ecosystems. I use data, attribution and experimentation to improve acquisition, conversion and marketing efficiency across GCC markets. More recently, my experience expanded into omnichannel growth, retail marketing, P&L responsibility and broader business management.
