My eLearning projects are targeted towards creating online learning programs, personalized coaching and corporate mentoring. 

I am a strong believer in building powerful personal brands. For corporate professionals as well as for Startups, personal branding is an essential element that can ensure professional growth. 

The truth is that in today’s world LinkedIn is the most powerful personal branding tool. 

I grew my business on LinkedIn. 

Making things complicated for clients is the way to make more money, but I believe in simplicity. 

Keeping things simple works for me. 

I do the same with my clients, I have SIMPLIFIED the use of LinkedIn for Job Search, personal branding and building online business. 

Over the years, I have helped hundreds of Senior Executives in LinkedIn optimization and technical support, most of them work for global corporations. 

LinkedIn is growing leaps and bounds and rolling out new features backed by the power of Generative AI. The opportunity is in your hands to make the best use of SIMPLE Techniques. 

I want you to become in-charge of your professional branding.  

Let’s talk, I will keep it simple! 

In 1990, I started my career at British Foreign Office. Served as Head of Trade with British FCO in Pakistan and next as Regional Director at the Center for International Private Enterprise (an affiliate of US Chamber of Commerce).

Sales & Marketing Director | Healthcare Business | Dental Consumables | Invisible Aligners | HealthTech | Medical Devices | Consumer Healthcare | Sales Management | Marketing Strategist | Middle East, Africa, Asia

I am an award-winning and entrepreneurial-minded Marketing, Sales, and Business Development Professional with over twenty years of experience in the Medical Devices/Healthcare/Pharmaceutical/Consumer Healthcare sector. Throughout my career, I have efficiently developed new business and markets for both Fortune 500 companies and startups across the Middle East, Africa, and Asia.

With a solid background in P&L management, strategy development, and implementation, I have consistently translated vision into successful business strategies by building strong structures, processes, and teams. I have a proven track record of identifying and capitalizing on new business opportunities, opening new markets, and finding creative solutions to overcome business challenges.

As a strategic thinker, I have been dedicated to optimizing market share, profitability, and return on investment. In my role as Sales Director for EON Dental, I successfully launched partnerships with leading clinic chains in Saudi Arabia and the UAE, resulting in 33% sales growth. 

My expertise extends to business development, where I have consistently exceeded targets by developing sales in new markets and implementing diverse products and services. During my tenure at SPLAT, I successfully deployed a channel network across the Middle East and Africa, leading to consistent market share growth and revenue increase. I have also launched SPLAT products in various countries, including Saudi Arabia, Iraq, UAE, Oman, Qatar, Libya, Yemen, and Nigeria.

Adept at operations improvement, I have identified areas for enhancement and implemented necessary changes to drive business success. For instance, I transformed an ailing Medical division in 3M Pakistan into a well-functioning business by re-engineering shipment processes, defining performance targets, and improving supplier ratings and profit margins. My leadership as Country Head for 3M's Healthcare Group in Pakistan resulted 103% growth in sales and profitability.

I am a visionary and supportive leader, leading by example and motivating teams to achieve excellence. I have successfully built and managed high-performing sales teams driven by innovation and sustainable business practices. My ability to develop strong client relationships through understanding their needs and goals has resulted in fruitful partnerships and loyal clientele.

Throughout my career, I have excelled in strategy formulation and delivery, utilizing forecasting and management systems to enhance performance targets.  I follow operational excellence at the highest level.
