About
Founder. Growth executive.
Investor. Advisor.
A career built around helping organizations grow.
Chapter 1
Learning how businesses grow
I began my career advising senior executives, CFOs and leadership teams at Gartner, becoming a two-time Global #1 Sales Performer while helping enterprise organizations improve performance, strategy and decision making.
This experience gave me an early understanding of what separates high-performing organizations from the rest.
Chapter 2
Scaling global technology businesses
My next chapter focused on helping some of the world's most innovative technology businesses expand internationally.
At Google, I led enterprise sales initiatives across SEEMEA, partnering with major brands to accelerate digital transformation and customer engagement.
I later joined Sprinklr and helped scale the Middle East business into a market-leading operation generating more than $20M ARR.
These experiences reinforced my passion for commercial growth, innovation and building sustainable go-to-market engines.
Chapter 3
Building my own company
In 2019, I founded Carasti, one of the Middle East's first vehicle subscription businesses.
Over six years we expanded across the UAE, Saudi Arabia, Singapore and Thailand.
Along the way we raised venture funding, completed acquisitions and built a business valued at approximately $56M.
This journey shaped my understanding of entrepreneurship, resilience, leadership and scaling companies from the ground up.
Chapter 4
Driving growth through data
Today I serve as Vice President, Specialist Sales, Services Business Development at Mastercard, leading the growth of Analytics & Business Intelligence solutions across Eastern Europe, the Middle East and Africa.
I partner with many of the region's leading banks, retailers and travel companies to improve customer acquisition, retention, loyalty and profitability through analytics and experimentation.
My mission remains simple: help organizations make smarter decisions that create measurable growth.

Customer Centricity Wins
The customer's evidence beats the internal opinion, always.
Great Teams Compound Results
Talent density is the highest-return investment a leader makes.
Experimentation Reduces Risk
Turn one large irreversible bet into many small reversible ones.
Simplicity Scales
Complexity is a tax paid every single quarter.
