Taief plays a pivotal role in tactical implementation and strategic direction.

Career highlights
I joined the industry five years ago where I’ve garnered broad experience in comms, working with multinational agencies and businesses spanning sectors such as Finance, Travel & Tourism, Technology and Retail. During my career, I had the privilege to be part of notable projects, from Dubai Tourism’s Shah Rukh Khan’s ‘Be My Guest’ campaign to the unveiling of the ‘The Palm Fountain’ – the world’s largest fountain by Nakheel Malls.
Today at Golin MENA, I support clients from the Corporate and Financial Services division to implement strategies using best practice methods. I am passionate about helping brands reach their target audience, one way or another.
Guiding principles
PR is an extremely challenging industry, where we are often required to develop a thick skin and sustain a positive attitude. Therefore, always take pride in your work, pay attention to details, be courageous, find your purpose, and maintain an open growth-oriented mindset.
Side hustle
I am an amateur resin and abstract artist. Also, I am a proud failed Oud player and a Netflix aficionado.
