About

My expertise lives at the intersection of traditional PR and modern creator marketing, translating innovation into stories that resonate culturally and drive tangible outcomes.

Over a decade shaping public narratives for high-growth tech and consumer brands across the UAE and MEA, I’ve led campaigns generating over 1.9 billion impressions and $200M+ in earned media value. Beyond the numbers, I build enduring partnerships with government stakeholders, tier-1 media and creator communities to elevate brand trust and market positioning.

I regularly share industry perspective on the evolving PR and creator economy, with thought leadership published in Inc. Arabia and The Integrator, and I designed a regional internship program to build a pipeline of emerging tech talent.
