I run inventory, pricing and launches for Dubai off‑plan real estate — and build the systems that keep them accurate.

About

Sales operations and inventory leader with 3.5+ years in Dubai off‑plan development, currently governing AED 15Bn+ of residential and commercial inventory across 15+ projects.

I’m the link between sales, finance and developer leadership. I run launches end to end — EOIs, tranche releases, unit allocation and comps‑based pricing — and build the Power BI and CRM foundations (Salesforce, Dynamics 365, EPMS) that keep inventory, bookings and commissions accurate.

Highlights

What I bring to a launch.

AI‑assisted allocation

Fairer, faster unit allocation.

Units are released to brokers based on their track record, so launch day moves faster and every allocation decision can be explained.

BI & reporting

Power BI, live from Salesforce.

Business Plan, inventory ageing and commission reports, refreshed automatically for senior management.

Launches

End‑to‑end rollouts.

Pre‑launch EOI tracking, tranche releases, payment plans and monthly sales offers.

Pricing

Comps‑based pricing.

Market research and competitor benchmarking that shape launch prices and re‑pricing.

Systems

CRM that stays clean.

Project onboarding, unit and plan uploads, automated URF & SPA mapping — no duplicate allocations.

Commercial control

Commissions checked. Developers aligned.

Monthly validation of broker and internal commissions before payout, and the direct line to developer leadership on bulk deals, exception pricing and special requests.

Key project · Jul 2026 – Present

An in‑house CRM.

A CRM built in‑house at OCTA Properties. I’m product owner and co‑builder for the sales‑operations side.

Sales operations modules

Designed and shipped the modules sales ops runs on every day — units, EOI allocation, payment plans, bookings, sales offers, special approvals and commissions.

Management BI

Live dashboards for sales by project, EOI team performance and compliance approval queues.

Rules built in

Payment‑plan, discount and approval rules are checked by the system, so errors stop at entry.

370+

changes in production since July 2026, delivered through AI‑assisted development alongside the core engineering team.
