    Dubai - United Arab Emirates
    Digital health venture: CGM subscriptions, AI companion, employer wellness, and insurer/TPA channels across the GCC.
    • ▪ Built a capital-light chronic-care platform integrating e-commerce, clinical partnerships, and offline access: 5x revenue growth since launch with LTV: CAC of ~5:1.
    • ▪ Structured commercial partnerships with global med-tech manufacturers, regional pharmaceutical distributors, and insurance/TPA players; negotiated supplier agreements across Europe and Asia.
    • ▪ Launched subscription models across three channels: direct-to-consumer, employer wellness (corporate B2B), and managed care with pricing architecture localized per GCC market.

    Dubai - United Arab Emirates
    Full global P&L: GCC, Levant, Africa, CIS, South & South-East Asia. Multinational leadership team across marketing, sales, supply chain, finance, and manufacturing.
    • ▪ Transformed the global P&L from $17M loss to break even — repositioned the portfolio into value-added categories (skincare via private label), directing group capital toward brand equity rather than plant capex.
    • ▪ Redirected growth investment to high-margin geographies — GCC and CIS — while rationalizing exposure to structurally low-margin markets; rebalanced the geographic revenue mix accordingly.
    • ▪ Executed end-to-end commercial margin correction across every market: consumer price positioning, retailer and distributor margin structures, and formulation cost optimization benchmarked to industry.
    • ▪ Built a global 3rd-party private-label manufacturing network across Asia and the Middle East, cuting in-house production dependency from 85% to 50%; led the closure of the Malaysia plant, including workforce transition and supply continuity.
    • ▪ Represented the division with global retailers, sovereign-linked distributors, and JV partners; owned board-level reporting to IFFCO Group leadership.

    General Manager
    January 2022 - March 2024 (2 years and 2 months)
    Middle East
    • ▪ Rebuilt the KSA go-to-market — distributor structure, pricing corridors, and channel mix — structurally transforming gross margin; introduced margin-accretive categories aligned to Gulf consumer demand.
    • ▪ Africa: Launched operations in 13 new countries within 12 months — appointing distributors, registering products, and localizing pricing — tripling sub-Saharan revenue in the same period.
    • ▪ Central SEA: Revamped route-to-market across CIS and South-East Asian markets with country-specific profitable product mixes and distributor economics rebuilt market by market.
