About

“Vision without execution is just a dream.” — Joel A. Barker I have spent 21+ years building and scaling brands across FMCG, Staples, Snacks, Consumer Durables, and Digital Commerce that win hearts and market share. Starting with shaping Samsung’s mobile roadmap across five continents, to driving a 330% revenue jump, to launching India’s first satellite AC at Videocon, to spearheading a ₹100+ Cr monthly media ecosystem at Dentsu, my journey has always revolved around turning strategy into tangible business outcomes. As COO at Zuari International, I drive scale with P&L ownership, operational discipline and AI-enabled transformation across sales, marketing, sourcing, manufacturing, supply chain, GTM, and digital. My focus is simple: make execution predictable, margins stronger and growth sustainable. I’m driven by building companies that endure — teams that take ownership, operations that run without friction and businesses that grow because their fundamentals are sound. If you’re passionate about growing brands with heart, systems and real outcomes, let’s connect⌨ faisal.careerhub@gmail.com
