About

I help high-growth companies solve the predictable marketing challenges that hit during scaling: declining efficiency, performance plateaus, and brand differentiation in crowded markets. Over 19 years, I've built and led marketing organizations across PropTech, eCommerce, and B2B marketplaces in MENA and globally. My approach combines strategic brand building with performance marketing excellence - because sustainable growth requires both immediate results and long-term competitive advantage. My track record includes: • 75% YoY revenue growth while maintaining marketing efficiency • $700M+ enterprise value creation across multiple companies • Leading $150M Series C fundraising with General Atlantic • Turning around performance crises (67% lead growth with flat spend) • Building marketing
