I am passionate about transforming companies by solving problems others have given up on. After working in business development for the last 25+ years, I know that human connection is the key driver of successful transformation. That in turn is my biggest strength.I have strong ambitions for business success and excellence, and I strive to put creativity and innovation at the center of everything I do. I always come up with new ideas that I follow through to execution and realization of distinctive business value. I am also a strong believer in the importance of the human connection in driving business relationships and success, and I consider empathy, communication and persuasion as my biggest assets. I spent the majority of my early career in the telecom industry solving highly challenging problems for international leading firms. Some achievement highlights include:- Executed the revenue growth plan in the Middle East region for AT&T with an increase of more than 100% over 3 years.- Pushed the sales of a Tier 1 global telco in the Middle East with a revenue growth rate exceeding 40% (Global One, a joint venture between Sprint, France Telecom, and Deutsche Telecom)- Increased Global One Enterprise's yearly sales’ revenues by 300% over 2 years with key corporate accounts (Telecom consumers)One of my earliest significant achievements was solving several multimillion-dollar settlement disputes for the telecom giant Sprint. These disputes have been going on for years; spanning multiple countries and different organizations. Within a year of joining the company, I successfully resolved all the conflicts, saving my company millions and making new partners for our business. Business is all about the human connection. To be able to understand, listen and put myself in clients' shoes is something I am always striving for. I am there to solve problems for my clients. And there is no secret recipe other than forming trust and genuine relationships.
