WORK HISTORY

ABOUT USMAN SAEED

Embarking on a dynamic journey in commercial expertise, I have accumulated over six years of experience in multiple departments including Commercial Strategy, Sales Management, and Growth Strategy. My professional identity is woven around a robust skill set encompassing distribution management, trade marketing, and strategic planning. Through my career, I have consistently delivered revenue growth, managed and grown multi million-dollar portfolios with a keen eye on operational excellence in the CPG industry. Post-graduation, my ambition led me to join Philip Morris International, where I honed my skills across the Commercial function, overseeing distribution strategy and sales management, allowing me to develop, formulate, and execute strategic plans to drive profitability and optimize performance. That, complemented by strategic initiatives, such as launching new brands and optimizing compensation models, not only showcased my ability to innovate but also delivered measurable results. Transitioning to Growth Manager and Category Management roles at Bazaar Technologies gave me the chance to manage multi-million-dollar portfolios, where I brought in double-digit revenue growth while ensuring smooth operations in retail. Thanks to data analysis, I was able to check how well different product categories were doing, handle budgets and stock, make specific plans, set priorities, and keep an eye on performance. Complementing my Bachelor of Business Administration (Sales & Marketing) from the Institute of Business Management in Pakistan, I am currently pursuing an Advanced Business Management Diploma at PACE, The University of Winnipeg. This educational journey has fortified my skills with certificates in Applied Project Management, Emerging Leadership, and Management. Outside the professional realm, I am always looking for my next hike, and I am an avid soccer player; a sport that embraces teamwork and adds discipline to my life. If my story has been of interest, let’s connect and explore how I can contribute my strategic mindset to your organization. Please reach out at u••••••••@hotmail.com.
