Campaign’s PR Faces to Watch 2020 – Rashmi Jeetendra, Senior account manager, Apco Worldwide Dubai

Age: 27

Rishi Talwalker, Apco Worldwide: Rashmi shows great potential. She is always doing more to be better informed and more knowledgeable on her client sectors and on issues related to the industry. She extends herself well beyond her comfort zone to take on new challenges and to learn more. She shows entrepreneurial grit, complemented by her sense of composure in every situation. She has a sense of ownership, which is refreshing for young professionals across the sector. Her overall commitment to excellence also makes her an asset on my team.

Career highlights

I started off my career as an online writer for a popular lifestyle publication in Dubai.  Six years later, I’m now working at my goal firm, Apco Worldwide. Highlights of my career so far include being nominated and shortlisted for an individual industry award, leading on work for some of the most prestigious corporate and consumer clients across the region. I constantly strive to meet high expectations either through taking the lead on new business opportunities, or winning prestigious industry awards for work I have contributed to.

Guiding principles

My parents have always said: “Do what you love, give it your all, and do it for yourself.” And I’m doing just that

Dream job

I’d like to own my own PR firm someday.

Side hustle

My husband and I are big foodies and we turned this into something more than just an interest; we made a business out of it. With the support of our friends and family we were able to open up a restaurant earlier this year and now have plans for more.
