About me

I'm Haroun, a fractional growth engineer who builds what I sell

I plan growth and build the systems that produce and measure it. You get marketing strategy and working software from the same person, so nothing gets lost between the plan and the build.

Companies I have run campaigns and built systems for

International companies: campaigns I led through XpandEast.

My story

I studied Information Systems at Taibah University, and I work in marketing. I also build the software behind it: a reporting platform, a review reply engine, and CRM and learning platforms that run in production today.

Through XpandEast I led international B2B campaigns for technology companies entering markets in APAC and Europe, from list building and AI-assisted personalization to reply handling and meetings with senior leaders.

I also work with businesses in health, restaurants, training and the nonprofit sector, where I build the marketing systems and run the campaigns myself.

I'm based in Saudi Arabia and work with teams in the US, Europe and APAC. You can book a call with me 9am to 5pm ET, Monday to Friday.
