Age: 29

Bahjat Homsi, director, Apco Worldwide Dubai: Tasnim’s meticulous character, attention to details and can-do attitude are what got her where she is now. In a span of a couple of years in PR, she became capable of leading on and managing big and strategic events not just in the UAE but also regionally. Tasnim is not afraid to venture into new projects and take on big assignments. She is smart, resourceful and calm under pressure, traits that make working with her such a pleasant experience.

Career highlights

Throughout my journey in Apco Worldwide over the past years, I’m proud of being recognised and promoted to several roles (account executive, senior account executive, account manager and senior account manager) in a short period of time. I am proud to work with some key clients on impactful campaigns. My biggest highlights were leading on PR and media relations for high-level events in the UAE and the region, such as Arab Hope Makers, Arab Reading Challenge, One Million Jordanian Coders, Crown Prince Award for Best Government Service Application in Jordan, Egypt Government Excellence Award and Best Mobile Government initiative in Uzbekistan.

Guiding principles

I learned from my father to be strong, believe in myself, study, and always to chase my dreams, as “where where’s a will, there’s a way”.

Dream job

My dream job is to be a designer.

Side hustle

Beside my passion to learn new things in different fields, I seek out new knowledge and actively develop new skills. I wish to have my own business in embroidery; I always loved embroidery.
