KETISHFounder
Nov. 2019 - Jan. 2023Dubai, United Arab EmiratesAs the founder of the UAE's first feminine and intimate wellness brand with global reach, I spearheaded the conceptualization of a distinctive brand identity, vision, mission, and value proposition. I led a team through the intricate process of product development—from research and formulation to market introduction, focusing on personal care, body care, wellness products, and devices. My commitment to diversity and inclusion has fostered a cohesive team environment aligned with our brand’s vision. Under my leadership, we set and achieved key strategic KPIs, driving business growth through direct-to-consumer performance, community engagement, and market expansion. I have established high-impact partnerships with major retailers like Sephora Middle East/ EU, Anthropologie US, Thirteenlune, and Bloomingdales US, significantly bolstering our market presence. Our marketing strategies were rooted in organic growth, building a community-centered brand celebrated for its transparency and expert-approved content around feminine and sexual health. Our work was globally recognized and featured in prestigious publications such as Forbes, Vogue, and Harper's Bazaar. The brand was also awarded “Most Promising Brand of 2021” by Entrepreneur Magazine Middle East, underscoring our impact and mission-driven approach to business.
