Qatar National Convention CentreCorporate Sales Manager
Jul. 2011 - Mar. 2022I am responsible for the promotion and presentation of the services and facilities of the Qatar National Convention Centre (QNCC), which is located in the Qatar Foundation’s campus in Doha. The large campus in the heart of the city hosts faculties from world-renowned universities such as Weill Cornell, Texas A&M, and Georgetown, as well as home-grown centers such as the Sidra Medical and Research Center and the Qatar Science and Technology Park and leads the country’s human, social, and economic development. I market and promote the QNCC’s services, as well as facilities designed for large international events such as trade shows, conferences and industry functions. A vital part of my role comprises the building and maintenance of relationships with potential clients of the Centre and fostering strategic partnerships with corporate clients. I handle client quotations, general proposals and bid documents and ensure that proposals and bids are turned into confirmed business. At present, I manage more than 1500 active and non-active corporate accounts, as well as major exhibitions in the Qatari market. I recently managed a Motor Show, Jewellery Show and Project Qatar – each exceeding QAR 5 million in revenue, and I contributed to the United Nation’s COP 18 Conference in 2012.
