Age: 27
Country: Iraq
Nominated by Mohammed A. Jameel, Founder & Managing Director – Bered:
Tuqa represents a new kind of account leader – one who blends empathy with execution discipline. She doesn’t seek the spotlight, yet she holds the structure that keeps everything moving. Her transition from creative intern to account manager in such a short time reflects her adaptability and strategic growth. She builds trust through precision communication and relentless ownership. Clients rely on her clarity; teams rely on her steadiness. In a fast-paced industry, Tuqa proves that strong account leadership isn’t loud – it’s consistent, structured, and deeply human.
Career highlights
Tuqa’s journey at Bered didn’t begin in account management – it began in design. Starting as a creative intern, her precision, strategic instinct, and relentless ownership quickly revealed a different path. Within six months, she transitioned from Creative Account Executive to Account Manager, becoming the backbone behind key client relationships. A former school principal, she brings rare structure, empathy, and discipline to every project. Whether aligning teams or navigating campaign pressure, Tuqa ensures clarity replaces chaos – quietly orchestrating results from behind the scenes.
Guiding principles
Clarity builds trust. I believe communication is a strategy – when everyone understands the why, execution becomes stronger. No brief is too small, no challenge too big. Structure protects creativity, and ownership drives results. Behind every successful campaign is alignment, not noise.
Side hustle
Outside of agency life, Tuqa invests her time in understanding human behaviour and team dynamics. Her background in education fuels her leadership style – structured, nurturing, and impact-driven. And yes, she has a soft spot for cats – a reminder that empathy and strength can coexist.
