Nominated by Musfirah Jafrani, Account Manager:
Ahlam is a diligent, conscientious and a deeply driven professional. She has a certain quiet strength about her that allows people that she works with a certain sense of ease and confidence in her ability to deliver. Her journey at team x has been nothing short of challenging as she manages one of the most key aspects of our partner’s marketing campaigns and strives for their success across all touch points.

Career highlights:
I stepped into the marketing world at 19, fresh-eyed and curious to figure out what makes brands actually pop. By 20, I was managing my first team of designers and social media executives, turning bright ideas into scroll-stopping content people couldn’t help but double-tap. I hopped between worlds, crafting business development magic in corporate services, weaving stories that sold in real estate social feeds and by 24, leveled up as Senior Account Executive at Team X, handling one of Omnicom’s biggest accounts: Mercedes-Benz. Today, I oversee 40+ general distributors across MENA and Europe, steering markets to follow guidelines and ensuring brand compliance across the globe.

Move beyond what feels comfortable, lean into growth, and pursue your dreams with fearless action. Start exactly where you are, it is never too late to begin. When manifesting is paired with dedication and steady effort, your vision doesn’t just stay a thought… it becomes your reality.
Side hustle:
Alongside my full-time career, I run a creative side hustle designing elegant modest wear and headscarves in personalized gift bundles, turning everyday pieces into meaningful, beautifully curated experiences. I’m also a makeup enthusiast, constantly experimenting with looks and aiming to achieve professional mastery and elevate my art.
