Bio
I am currently a Digital Account Director at MRM UAE where I manage global and regional brands like Johnson and Johnson, Tadawul (Saudi Stock Exchange), Honeywell, ITC, Samsung, and others. In my role, I lead the strategic direction to deliver digital ecosystems that enable my clients to grow meaningful relationships with their customers using the power of creativity, the beauty of data, the magic of technology, and the impact of connections.
I also lead HumanTech for MRM in MENA, which is McCann’s global innovation offering created to help brands play a meaningful role in people’s lives through innovation. It combines the power of design thinking and design engineering, to create never-before-possible solutions that solve human needs.
Guiding principles
I am a true believer as well as an advocate for transparency, integrity and conscious inclusion where these guiding principles have been the beacon for my advancement personally and professionally. Especially nowadays, conscious inclusion is indispensable to foster a culture where people feel comfortable and equally valued at the workplace.
