Career highlights
With a background in data & analytics, I took a road less taken and took on and entered the world of advertising & creative strategy. And that has definitely made all the difference.
I started off my career by working across different categories, with a strong focus on automotive. After that, I decided to make the shift to Havas, where I have played an integral role in working on strategies across the agency's different clients, bringing in new business opportunities and was part of the team that helped bring Adidas' recent 'Desert Runner' campaign to life.
Guiding principles
Learning never stops; always be hungry to learn new things.
Every problem, big or small, always has a solution.
Side hustle
I recently started watching a lot of cooking videos and practising making certain recipes. And gaming has always been a huge part of my life, from playing Crash Bandicoot on my PS2 in 2006, to playing it on my PS5 today.

The 2025 Games of the Future are officially coming to Abu Dhabi
Just when you thought Abu Dhabi couldn't outdo itself when it comes to next-gen entertainment, along comes this: the UAE capital has officially been named host of the Games of the Future 2025. Taking place from December 18 to 23 at the Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC), this global event promises to be a blockbuster celebration of all things phygital – that's physical sport meets digital gaming and yes, it's as futuristic as it sounds. So, what exactly are we in for? Think esports meets elite athletics. In each competition, players will first compete in a digital version of their sport – whether that's football, shooter games, or other hybrid disciplines – before jumping into the physical version IRL. The combined scores from both stages determine the winner, so you'll need fast thumbs and quick feet to make the podium. The Games aren't just about fierce competition – they're also a tech-lover's dream. Expect AI-powered activations, VR immersion zones, live digital showcases and more fan experiences than you can shake a motion sensor at. There will be cultural experiences too, adding a bit of local flair to the global chaos of combat boots and console clicks. Over 2,000 athletes from more than 100 countries took part in the first Games and this second edition is shaping up to be even bigger. ASPIRE, the UAE's innovation arm for big-league tech events, is leading the charge on the ground, while Ethara – the events powerhouse behind everything from UFC nights to Formula 1 concerts – will make sure everything runs smoother than a PS5 loading screen. And don't worry – you won't need to be a pro gamer or marathon runner to join the fun. The event is open to fans and spectators, with ADNEC's cavernous halls transformed into a futuristic arena where sport, science fiction and serious skill all collide. Whether you're into esports, elite-level athletics, or just want to be part of something wildly new and only-in-Abu-Dhabi, the Games of the Future 2025 are about to rewrite the playbook for what sport can be. December can't come fast enough. Wed Dec 18–Mon Dec 23. Abu Dhabi National Exhibition Centre (ADNEC).

'The Last of Us' games surge in sales after HBO Season 2 finale
Nearly a decade after its original release, The Last of Us continues to dominate the gaming charts — and now, it's doing so on the back of its critically acclaimed TV counterpart. Following the emotional finale of HBO's The Last of Us Season 2, both remastered versions of Naughty Dog's beloved horror-adventure titles are seeing a dramatic spike in sales. According to Amazon's US charts, The Last of Us Part II Remastered is currently the #1 best-selling PS5 game, just behind the PlayStation 5 Pro console in overall listings. Its predecessor, The Last of Us Part I, sits close behind at #3, edged out only by Elden Ring: Shadow of the Erdtree – Deluxe Edition. The renewed momentum around the games is no coincidence. HBO's live-action adaptation — a collaboration between series creator Neil Druckmann and Chernobyl showrunner Craig Mazin — has captivated audiences with its faithful yet cinematic storytelling. After earning five Primetime Emmy nominations for its first season, the show's sophomore run has been met with equal acclaim, frequently hailed as 'the best video game adaptation of all time.' Fans have clearly responded — not just with viewership, but with their wallets. While the HBO series has undeniably driven interest back to the games, timely discounts have also sweetened the deal for new and returning players. As of now, The Last of Us Part II Remastered is marked down by 40%, while Part I enjoys a steep 57% discount on Amazon. The combination of renewed narrative interest and attractive pricing has helped both titles resurface as must-plays on the PlayStation 5. The franchise's haunting story, emotionally grounded performances, and refined gameplay have long made it a pillar of Sony's first-party lineup. Both The Last of Us and Part II remain among the best-selling games on their respective platforms — and now, thanks to a perfect storm of critical acclaim and pop culture relevance, their legacy continues to grow. While developer Naughty Dog has yet to officially confirm a third mainline game, rumours continue to swirl. Industry insiders have hinted at early casting calls for The Last of Us Part III, suggesting that a continuation of Ellie's journey may already be in motion behind the scenes. Meanwhile, HBO has already greenlit a third season of the series, promising to explore deeper corners of Part II 's harrowing narrative. With both the gaming and television adaptations thriving in tandem, The Last of Us has proven it's not just a series — it's a cultural phenomenon. The Last of Us has never been more alive.
