About me
For the past seven years I have been working in the advertising and communication field for several international companies. During this period I have earned knowledge in communication skills that helped me build a reputation for being accurate, honest and efficient. My clients varied from regional automotive companies (Land Rover MENA, Kia Jordan) to telecommunications (Qtel Qatar), retail groups, world restaurant chains, banks, etc. This variety of clients increased my exposure to multiple industries. Most importantly it gave me the inter-personal skills needed to establish and manage internal or external relationships, attract new customers and deepen existing customer relationships. I have experience of managing teams and guiding them to achieve clients’ goals. I also have handled important and particular client accounts and ensured their requirements and business interests are well served and met. I have well developed presentation and communication skills and have conducted marketing pitches, mid year reviews and regional meetings in English, Arabic and French to meet client needs. I am able to gain the trust of customers by interacting with people from all backgrounds. With a proven record of contributing to the profitability of my employer by generating income and revenue growth I am now looking forward to making a contribution to your agency that offers a genuine continuing professional development opportunity.
