Bio
Sameh Jarour
Lina is an inspirational business leader; the type that can take any situation and mold it into conditions that create new possibilities and opportunities. She managed to lead and motivate a department that transitioned the marketing function from Aramex from its traditional service approach to a strategic unit that drove commercial ideas and revenue generating opportunities.

If im to describe Lina in a sentence, I think the best fit would be "an inspirational leader and a great mentor", I spent 4 years reporting to Lina during her stint as the CMO of Armaex, during which i learned from her on management, marketing strategies, product development, advertising and brand management. During that time, Lina has developed and shaped my skills to fill in her shoes as the Global Marketing Director at Aramex, managing all Aramex marketing and brand related activities across the network
