ABOUT ME

I am a business consultant, marketing strategist, and lecturer with a strong record of helping organizations achieve measurable growth. Through 360 Degree Consultancy, of which I am the CEO & Founder, I focus on resolving complex business challenges, leveraging AI strategies, and driving sustainable growth for industries spanning banking, healthcare, retail, and hospitality.

My leadership journey includes roles such as Director of Marketing & Sales at Korek Premium & VIP Numbers and Country Retail Manager of Jibal Zone. These experiences strengthened my expertise in strategic marketing, digital transformation, retail expansion, and e-commerce platform development.

In parallel, I continue my academic career as a Marketing Lecturer at Salahaddin University. As an entrepreneur and retail expert, I am the Owner of Bubble Tea and London Chickens, and previously drove retail expansion as the Manager of Jibal Zone, Iraq's largest multi-brand mobile retailer.

Passionate about personal and professional skills development, I work as a coach and trainer helping individuals build leadership, communication, and entrepreneurial capabilities. Fluent in English, Kurdish, and Persian, I bring international experience and practical consultancy to every project.
