Career highlights
I currently drive PR and communication across a diverse portfolio of regional and global brands, including Mercedes-Benz, Alfa Romeo, Bosch Middle East, Emirates Gold, and other lifestyle and corporate clients in the UAE.
My role goes beyond media outreach; I’m involved in campaign strategy, messaging architecture, copy checks, key visuals and crisis conversations from the ground up. I’ve helped shift conversations from reactive PR to structured, narrative-led positioning, ensuring brands show up with clarity and consistency.
My mantra? To stay calm under pressure and stay detail-orientated in approach, I focus on building reputations that last, not just headlines that trend.
Guiding principles
Clarity over noise. Substance over surface.
I believe strong communication comes from understanding people, systems and context, not just pushing messages out. I stay calm in chaos, optimise after setbacks, and prioritise my long-term reputation over short-term visibility.
Side hustle
I recently started @dietsodatakes on Instagram, a personal content page where I share honest takes on life, culture, and current conversations, alongside quick 10-second “Diet Soda Review of the Day” clips.
It’s my creative playground, built around my persona as the guy with a diet soda in his hand, blending commentary and storytelling in a way that feels real, sharp, and unfiltered.
