E-commerce operator with 7+ years across the UAE and GCC, covering both the commercial and operational sides of online retail. I've run daily operations on Shopify and WooCommerce stores, including order processing, inventory, fulfilment and 3PL coordination. I built and ran my own B2C marketplace, The Souq Express, directing an in-house warehouse team and third-party delivery agents while growing it to AED 1.5 Million in sales. Before that I coordinated shipments and distributor stock across MEA markets at Toshiba Gulf, and managed regional marketplace accounts on Amazon, Noon and Sharaf DG at around AED 2 Million monthly. I'm also technical. I build automation and work directly in Shopify and WooCommerce, so I can fix things rather than just flag them. Based in Dubai, available for fractional and project work.
