How I help

Four waysto work together.

Whether you need someone in the seat, a second opinion on the plan, or ninety minutes of clear direction, start with the option that fits and we'll shape it from there.

01 · Full-time leadership

Hire me

Head of Marketing, Marketing Director or CMO roles where brand, performance and AI need one owner. Best for companies that are launching, repositioning or scaling a team.

  • Building or restructuring a marketing team
  • A major launch or rebrand on the horizon
  • Turning marketing into a revenue function

02 · Fractional or project based

Consulting

A senior marketing lead for a defined period or project: go-to-market, launch plans, lead quality, CRM journeys, or an AI marketing operating model.

  • Go-to-market and launch strategy
  • Lead generation and CRM automation audits
  • Setting up an agentic marketing workflow

03 · Quick, focused direction

Strategy session

A working session on one problem: a campaign that isn't converting, a launch plan, a channel mix or where AI fits in your team. You leave with written next steps.

  • A second opinion before a big spend
  • Unblocking a stalled campaign
  • Choosing AI tools and agents for your team

04 · Talks, workshops, masterclasses

Speaking and training

Keynotes, panels and hands-on workshops on agentic marketing, AI search, performance marketing and customer experience. Delivered in English and Arabic.

  • Conferences and summits
  • Leadership and team workshops
  • University and diploma programmes

How it works

01

You share the brief

A few lines on the goal, the market and the deadline. Use the form, WhatsApp or the AI assistant.

02

We talk

A first call to understand the business, the numbers and the team. No pitch deck.

03

You get a plan

A clear scope, timeline and the outcome we'll measure, before any commitment.

Share your brief

Questions

Before you ask

Do you work with companies outside the UAE?

Yes. Most of my work has been in the UAE and the Middle East, but strategy sessions and consulting can run remotely for any market.

How much does it cost?

Every engagement is scoped on a short first call, because a strategy session and a six-month launch plan are very different pieces of work. You'll get a clear scope and price before any commitment.

Can you help us set up AI agents for marketing?

Yes. I can map your current workflow, choose where agents fit, set up the approval steps and train the team, using the tools you already have where possible.

What do I get from a strategy session?

A focused working session on one problem, followed by written next steps you can act on with your team or agency.
