About

I build digital products from obscurity to category leadership in MENA.For over 16 years across tech and digital platforms, entertainment, OTT, creative SaaS, FMCG, and real estate; building brands from zero, scaling growth engines, and proving that marketing in this region needs locally-led strategy, global consistency with local fluency.Across my career I've built:→ TikTok MENA from first hire to 11.7M+ downloads and #1 most-downloaded app in the region. Built through integrated brand, growth, creator-led ecosystem, and strategic partnerships. Scaled regional budget from zero. → ByteDance ecosystem MENA — advised global teams on GTM strategy for regional launches of Lark (collaboration SaaS) and CapCut (creative tools), translating product positioning for the MENA market alongside leading TikTok's regional marketing.→ Viu MENA — leading SVOD/AVOD growth across MENA OTT landscape, scaling subscriber growth through telco, OEM, and influencer partnerships.→ DAMAC Properties — managing media budgets across UAE, GCC, London, Africa, Pakistan, and Hong Kong.Growth thinking that doesn't separate brand from performance. Cultural intelligence that goes deeper than demographics. Building creator and community ecosystems that compound. Translating global product launches; including SaaS and creative tools, for MENA cultural and commercial reality. Reading markets and translating that into strategy that wins.My work has been recognized by:Clio Award, Dubai Lynx (Gold·Silver·Bronze), AD Stars (Crystal·Gold), Loeries, for work that reached 2.2B+ people across MENA cultural moments.
