After receiving his master’s degree from KAUST in Electrical Engineering, Tamim joined Siemens Saudi Arabia under a prestigious entry program ‘Siemens Graduate Program’. He did 3 assignments of 8 months, each one in different functions and one of them was in the HQ in Germany.

After that, Tamim started as a Product Manager for 18 months to roll out new power electronics products in the region. He realized that he wanted to increase his technical background, so he worked as a Service Engineer for nine months while assigned to handle a Customer Service Business Unit.

In the following 6 years, Tamim`s core business/sales skills were developed and improved to take the business from barely 0.5 million dollars business to around 5 million when he left.

After 10 years in Siemens, feeling too comfortable, Tamim decied to shake things up and get out of the ‘comfort zone’ to a place where learning can be exponential, adding new skills on top of his experience. He joined Penny Software which was a startup preparing to launch a B2B procurement marketplace. Working with the business team and tech team, the marketplace was launched after signing with extra suppliers and adding necessary features on the buyer/supplier journey.

Then, the focus shifted to getting companies to use the marketplace for procurement while maintaining the development of the platform. When he left, the marketplace was vibrant with over 300 suppliers offering more than 300,000 products and 300 customers.

Last year,Tamim decided to move to another country. He is now in Sweden doing a master’s in Bioinformatics while expanding his professional network in the region.

His core experience is in the domains of: B2B Business Development, Sales Strategy, Startup, Digital Transformation in industry and Procurement.
