Subsequently, as the Director of Sales & Events at Emirates Events Hospitality Group, I honed my skills in holistic sales oversight and profitable event management across Germany, Switzerland, and the United Arab Emirates. Maintaining a 15% to 20% profit margin, I secured contracts up to $300K for high-profile events, including black-tie galas, trade shows, product launches, and team-building extravaganzas.
