What impact will your mentorship have on your career and professional path?
As a founder of Sawaed19, I deeply believe this experience will boost the project on both technical and business levels. I currently work in the Strategic Marketing Department at a leading company in Palestine. I believe being a strategist in the AI era encourages us towards data driven decisions to keep the business growing, thus, data and business analysis are the cornerstone for setting strategies. Accordingly, I'll empower my section at Paltel with more analytical techniques towards decision support. In addition, I am working on advancing to a leadership role in Paltel, specifically I would like to be the next manager of Strategic Marketing Department.
After participating in the TechWomen program, how will you leverage your mentorship experience to make an impact in your home country?
Professionally, I’ll improve the data analysis techniques to work towards insightful findings and reliable decision support. In addition, I’m planning to develop a cloud software that will help strategists in diverse businesses to formulate and manage their strategies and KPIs. Academically, I’ll share the knowledge and experience to students in the same field, improve their skills and broaden their horizon in way of thinking. Personally, I’ll work on improving Sawaed19 Platform to apply the know-how in machine learning as well as improving the volunteering ecosystem based on what I've learned in this program.
