Managing Self and Others

Personal profile

The companies that I have worked for have helped me in the pursuit of my dreams. I secured a diploma from Middle East International School in Doha in 2004. Then I secured a diploma in Business Administration from the College of North Atlantic in Doha in 2008. This was the first step in the world of business through an academic endeavour. I did this diploma in order to get acquainted with the marketing field. After pursuing a diploma in Business Administration, I would start another diploma in Higher Education from Anglia Ruskin University of Cambridge, England. This was an attempt to get acquainted with the international business arena that I have always thought to get in. Although, I belong to Doha, Qatar, I have learned and mastered two other languages besides my mother tongue. I can easily read, write and speak Arabic that is my mother tongue. Apart from my fluency in Arabic, I have mastered in French and English. A job at American base in 2004 would work wonders in this regard. The nine-month job that I did at the base was phenomenal in developing me internally. The first job that I acquired right after I left American base in Qatar was a sales-executive job at Al-Hamad Automobiles. This was one of the largest groups in the region that worked with Chinese, Indian and American enterprises.

I served for the Automobile Company for two years and then switched to job to acquire a position of marketing manager at Annish Group of Contracting in Beirut. This was a dream-come-true situation because working as a sales executive, I had always tried my level best to work through to acquire a managerial position and securing the manger position at the Annish group was just the start of what I was trying to pursue. I also am a partner at the Annish group, which gives me the executive status as well. I also have been working as a project manager at Black Pearl for Contracting and Transportation in Doha.

Current position

I have been working as a project manager for Black Pearl Company and as a marketing manager for Annish Company. At Annish, I have the job to cater the sales and marketing activities of the company and keep a close eye over each and every activity that can make or break the organizational drive in order to achieve the objectives.
