Summary

Loyalty, honesty, and sincerity serve as the cornerstone of my life philosophy. Over the span of 15 years, I have traversed through 12 different countries, delving deep into producing comprehensive socio-economic reports that provide intricate analyses of each country's current state and investment opportunities.

During this journey, I've had the privilege of interviewing Heads of States and numerous political and business leaders, affording me a nuanced understanding of conducting business with VIP individuals. My arsenal of creativity, effective communication skills, and unwavering dedication have propelled me to exceptional achievements, earning accolades as the top salesperson multiple times. I've successfully secured contracts exceeding $180,000 and notably clinched a $500,000 deal with the President of Congo.

As an expert in B2B dynamics, I have honed my abilities in team training and leadership, cultivating a positive work environment conducive to success. My adaptability and resilience shine brightest under high-pressure scenarios, particularly in sales endeavors.

Furthermore, I've contributed significantly as a member of the board of directors for The Worldfolio and served as the COO of a startup, actively shaping the decision-making processes and strategies of both entities.

Since January, I have been compiling a socio-economic report on Saudi Arabia for the Wall Street Journal. This report is designed to showcase the country to an international audience. Over recent years, Saudi Arabia has undergone significant transformations in its business landscape. The government and private sector have forged a close collaboration to foster a corporate culture focused on transparency, good governance, innovation, and sustainability. These initiatives have spurred a surge in entrepreneurial activities and the rapid emergence of innovative ecosystems. New public agencies are actively supporting the private sector and aiding strategic companies in becoming national champions, thus enhancing their global presence. Based in Riyadh, I conducted interviews with both political and business leaders to gather firsthand insights into the current state of affairs in the country.
