I'm an executive who builds and scales international B2B technology businesses from the ground up, from the first customer to a global P&L.

Over 15 years at Group-IB, a global cybersecurity company, I grew multiple business units from early stage to significant global operations, always with full P&L ownership and, at peak, up to $46M ARR.

My strength is at the intersection of product strategy, revenue growth and operational leadership. I work best where something meaningful needs to be built, not just maintained: new markets, new products, new teams.

  • Global P&L Leadership

    Full ownership of multi-product business units of up to $46M ARR, spanning EMEA, META, APAC, LATAM and North America.

  • 0-to-1 Business Building

    Launched and scaled three distinct product businesses from near zero to significant revenue contribution.

  • Cross-functional Teams

    Built and led distributed organizations covering Product, Sales, R&D, Marketing and Delivery.

  • Enterprise Client Base

    Served banks, telcos, government entities, oil & gas and industrial enterprises across 30+ countries.

Where I create
the most value

01

Business Unit Leadership

Running a multi-product P&L as a business within a business: strategy, budget, hiring, go-to-market and delivery accountability end-to-end.

02

Global Market Expansion

Opening and scaling new geographies, from first customer acquisition to building local teams, partners and enterprise pipelines.

03

Cybersecurity & Digital Risk

Deep domain expertise in Digital Risk Protection, Threat Intelligence and Attack Surface Management across enterprise segments.

04

Product Strategy

Translating market signals into product direction, pricing and positioning, working closely with R&D to ship what the market actually needs.

05

Enterprise Sales & Partnerships

Building enterprise sales motions, channel ecosystems and C-level relationships with complex, long-cycle buyers.

06

Organizational Scaling

Growing teams from small units to 200+ FTE across multiple geographies while maintaining culture, speed and accountability.

I build teams that don't need to be managed. They need to be aligned.

My approach starts with clarity on direction and values, then gets out of the way. People do their best work when they understand why something matters, trust that their judgment is respected, and can see their contribution directly in the outcome.

I invest heavily in that alignment upfront so that execution becomes autonomous, not supervised.

  1. 01

    Trust as a default

    I hire for ownership and give it immediately. A team waiting for permission is a team that can't move at market speed.

  2. 02

    EQ over hierarchy

    I build real individual relationships, understand what drives each person, and lead through clarity and genuine motivation, not reporting lines.

  3. 03

    Results that compound

    Teams aligned on values don't just hit targets. They exceed them, replicate the model, and make the next hire easier. That's how you scale.

Let's talk about
what's next

I'm open to conversations about VP, GM or Business Unit leadership roles in B2B technology, particularly where something meaningful needs to be built or scaled. Based in Dubai, open to global mandates.
