With over 10 years of experience in CRM management, automation, and email marketing, I’ve helped global brands connect with customers through data-driven, personalized campaigns. Having worked across both the UK and the Middle East, I specialize in developing and executing multilingual, multibrand marketing strategies that drive engagement, retention, and revenue growth. Throughout my career, I’ve worked with leading organizations including adidas, Centaur Media, Yorkshire Building Society, and Landmark Group, where I’ve managed complex CRM ecosystems, optimized marketing automation journeys, and delivered performance-focused lifecycle campaigns. In parallel to my marketing career, I pursued a Master’s and PhD in Psychology, driven by a deep interest in human behaviour, motivation, and decision-making. I now combine my corporate and academic experience as a part-time Research Fellow, exploring behavioural interventions. My expertise spans CRM strategy, segmentation, personalization, and marketing automation platforms, with a strong focus on aligning customer insights with business objectives. Passionate about leveraging technology and behavioural science, I thrive on turning data into meaningful, measurable results.
