About Dounia

Freelance Data & AI Consultant with 8+ years of experience across Europe and the Middle East, I help companies unlock business growth through data-driven product decisions, experimentation, and AI-powered insights.

With a hybrid background in consulting (KPMG, Polyconseil) and in-house leadership (Talabat / Delivery Hero), I bring a unique mix of strategic thinking, hands-on execution, and cross-functional collaboration across product, engineering, logistics, and C-level teams.

Whether you need to:

- Boost conversion and retention through funnel analytics
- Build and run large-scale A/B tests, holdouts or causal inference frameworks
- Identify millions in ROI opportunities through advanced customer journey insights
- Leverage AI / LLMs to improve search relevance or product ranking
- Translate data into decisions across product, growth, or ops

I can help design the right approach and deliver tangible results, fast.
