About me
A sales professional who started his sales career in 2004 as a day job while studying business computer, and fell in love with his profession and it became his identity.
I can’t imagine myself doing something else than sales, connecting with people, building networks of friends and acquaintances, and getting in touch with everyone around me, and my passion for learning languages helped me a lot in that, as I speak Arabic 🇱🇧, French 🇫🇷, English 🇨🇦 and Spanish 🇪🇸.
My belief is that one’s real worth is his network and that what really counts is “who you know” rather than “what you know”.
My Story
My career trip was an exciting one, full of experiences and of amazing people who I got the privilege to make friendships with along the way, and I would like to share these experiences with the future teams I work with and I’m so anxious to learning from them as well.
I’m sharing with you below a brief description for the roles I occupied with the companies I worked for, there a lot of details that I’d share gladly with whoever is interested, reach out to me for a discussion.
2004-2006 🇱🇧
My first role in sales started at Transmed, in Lebanon. I was a “Specialty Rep.”. The specialty team was a pilot project in the company, the tasks the team were assigned varied from a month to another depending on the company focus in each quarter, and I consider myself lucky to have started a career in small dosages.
2007 – 2014 🇸🇦
I joined ABP – Al Jomaih Bottling Plants – the bottlers of PEPSI in the Central, East, and North regions in Saudi Arabia as a Key Account Executive, and after 3 years in that role, I was promoted to Key Account Manager leading a team of Account Executives along with the major accounts of our company.
2014 – 2022 🇨🇦
I became a member of OSL retails services, OSL is the company that operates the wireless centers of Walmart in Canada and the United States, so I entered the world of the Telecom industry, and started from the bottom, as a sales associate in one of the locations in Edmonton learning all about this new industry and mastering it. In a year and a half, I got the chance to manage my own branch, as I was promoted to sales manager.
2022 - PRESENT 🇨🇦
In 2022 I joined NSF International as Key Account Manager II, it's a global certification body that conducts testing, auditing, and certification, supported by accredited labs. I'm currently in the SFCS division (Supply Food Chain Safety), looking after all the BRCGS accounts and 30% of the SQF Accounts in North America.
