I am a results-driven marketing and communications professional with over 3 years of experience delivering measurable, revenue-generating results across hospitality, luxury lifestyle and F&B in the UAE. At IHG, I built and managed multi-brand marketing strategies across five accounts, achieving 35% organic reach growth, a 6.2% campaign engagement rate above the regional benchmark, a 28% CTR uplift on paid digital, and a 22% uplift in long-stay bookings, all delivered independently and with zero agency support. I’m trilingual (English, French and Swahili) with Spanish actively learning, comfortable leading without oversight and coordinating multiple stakeholders in fast-paced environments. I’m currently based in Dubai but relocating to Spain to build something new in a new country, culture and team. I’m available for immediate start in Marketing Coordinator, Executive, Specialist and Manager roles across lifestyle, F&B, startups, agencies, real estate and corporate settings throughout Spain and Europe.
