• Represent the Middle East market in global marketing forums, identifying synergies between global initiatives and local execution.
• Collaborate with Oliver Wyman’s think tank, the Oliver Wyman Forum, and holding company Marsh, to support content planning and delivery for relevant report and insight launches.
• Identify and activate marketing-led partnerships and collaborations with relevant organizations, associations, and influencers, aligned to priority campaigns.
