Cover Letter

I am writing to express my interest in the current vacancy at your organization. With over 11 years of experience in customer-facing roles and 7 years in sales across banking, real estate, and logistics, I bring a strong blend of relationship-building, strategic development, and service excellence to your team.


At World Logistics Passport (WLP), I’ve held roles as both a Business Development Executive and a Membership Consultant. I’ve successfully contributed to the program’s international growth, notably through my participation in key global events including the Global Freight Summit (2022–2024), FIATA/RAME 2024, and the WLP Annual Event in 2023. These engagements not only enhanced WLP’s visibility but also led to tangible growth in memberships and partnerships.


Previously, I spent several years at Emirates Airlines, progressing to the role of Cabin Supervisor. My background in aviation and hospitality has refined my ability to anticipate client needs, manage high-pressure situations, and deliver premium service—all of which I now apply to building long-term business relationships and driving commercial results.


I am excited about the opportunity to bring my customer-centric mindset, global exposure, and sales expertise to your organization. I would welcome the chance to discuss how my experience can support your team’s success.


Thank you for considering my application.
