Engaging in continuous reading and acquiring new skills, coupled with my passion for travel and exploration of diverse cultures, has consistently been the cornerstone of enriching my life experiences.
My name is Tarek, from Syria. I graduated from Homs University with an English Language and Translation degree from the College of Arts and Human Sciences. Commencing my professional journey, I entered the sales field under the mentorship of Mr. Fadi Mando. At the age of nineteen, he entrusted me with the responsibility of managing correspondence with major Chinese factories, handling quotations, product discussions, price negotiations, and overseeing the shipment of goods.
In 2007, seeking broader horizons and professional development, I ventured to Dubai. Joining Cellucom, a global company, I excelled in mobile phone sales, earning accolades for my performance selling BlackBerry and Samsung’s first releases.
A year later, an opportunity arose at i2, where I became the assistant manager of the largest technology store in the Middle East, situated in the Mall of the Emirates. This role exposed me to various facets of the business, including sales, merchandise management, and customer service. Additionally, I forged connections with the marketing team, gaining a comprehensive understanding of the interconnected aspects of sales, marketing, merchandising, and the attainment of monthly sales targets. This experience allowed me to collaborate with industry experts such as Rami Kabbani and Arone Walter.
Grateful for these opportunities, I joined Sacoor Brothers and La Martina, international companies from Portugal and Argentina, respectively.
Upon relocating to Serbia, I transitioned into Digital Marketing, immersing myself in modern marketing methods. Having honed my skills through extensive on-the-ground experience and interactions with diverse colleagues and customers, I have since applied my expertise in multiple roles.
With proficiency in Arabic, English, and Serbian, as well as a deep understanding of various languages and cultures, I’ve leveraged my unique background to navigate and penetrate markets in the Middle East, North Africa, and Eastern Europe since 2015.
My professional achievements span various sectors, including roles as Content Manager for I’m Human Organization & UNHCR, Project Manager at ADRA, Digital Marketing Assistant Manager at Al-Hikmah International School, SEO Specialist at MFK Partners, Digital Marketing Manager at Rawadi Market, and SEO Specialist at A.K.C Education.
Fueled by a passion for languages, and cultures, and understanding audience psychology, I firmly believe that grasping the intricacies of the target audience is the fundamental step toward achieving successful marketing outcomes.
Beyond my professional pursuits, I am a devoted father who values physical fitness, an avid reader, and a music enthusiast.
