Since 2023, I have been working as an independent Market Research Analyst and Competitive Intelligence specialist, focused on service-based businesses — dental clinics, fitness clubs, restaurants, and fine dining.

I deliver structured, visually polished competitive intelligence reports that include price benchmarking, weighted scorecards, spider chart positioning, critical gap analysis, and a concrete step-by-step action plan — everything a business owner needs to identify hidden growth opportunities and strengthen their competitive position.
To date, I have completed a range of competitive analyses for clients in Dubai Marina, JBR, and London W1, covering markets such as premium fitness, cosmetic dentistry, mid-range dining, and fine dining. Each report is delivered as a professional PDF + Excel package, ready to act on immediately.

I work with local businesses in the UAE, UK, and Europe who want clarity on where they stand — and exactly what to do about it.
Over the past 5+ years as an HR Manager in a recruitment agency, I developed solid expertise in labor market analysis, target audience research using the JTBD framework, and competitive intelligence applied to talent acquisition.

My work included competitor landscape reviews, candidate attraction strategies, in-depth research into the needs and pain points of both businesses and job seekers, and development of positioning and marketing materials for clients.

This analytical foundation — researching markets, identifying gaps, and translating findings into actionable strategies — directly underpins my current specialisation in competitive intelligence and market analysis for local service businesses across the UAE, UK, and Europe.
