About

Senior automotive commercial leader with 18+ years of experience across OEM and aftermarket environments, including 10+ years in Nissan and leadership roles in brand launch and regional growth. I have built and scaled sales systems through dealer network management, commercial strategy, pricing and incentive programs, and distributor partnerships across GCC and Russia/CIS. My focus is measurable business growth: improving dealer performance and profitability, increasing market share, and building repeatable go-to-market models. I combine OEM-grade discipline (KPIs, governance, network standards) with hands-on execution in complex markets, where speed, resilience and partner management determine results. Key areas: regional sales leadership, dealer network performance, fleet/corporate sales, pricing & margin optimization, market entry, inventory alignment, CRM and e-commerce integration.
