Chief Executive Officer @ Markazia Group

About

I started my career, after graduating from the University of Arizona, as a marketing intern at Toyota Motor Sales U.S.A.. With the knowledge that I would eventually come back to Jordan to continue working for Toyota, I decided to make a temporary shift into the field of social development. I joined an NGO called Volunteering Services Overseas as an IT volunteer, in charge of running a computer education center on the outer islands of Vanuatu in the South Pacific. An Experienced that totally shifted my perception on how life should be spent. After my return from Vanuatu in 2005, I joined Toyota - Jordan (A family owned business) as a Marketing Officer. At Toyota, I moved up to Sales & Marketing Manager by 2011. By then I had established a public relations and CSR strategy focused on environment and education. I had also launched several new brands for my organization, starting with Lexus in 2007 as our premium luxury brand, followed by Hino Trucks and Kinglong Buses. After graduating with an MBA from IE Business School in 2014, I moved up to occupy a dual role of Sales & Marketing Manager and Deputy General Manager with responsibilities growing to a more strategic level. I am now the General Manager of my company, where I spend most of my team setting goals for my team, coaching them and ensuring they have the best work environment to succeed. I firmly believe that maintaining competitiveness means always knowing how to change and grow. I'm looking for an opportunity to share ideas and knowledge with people that will allow me to continuously find out new ways to achieve that change.
