I build products that pay for themselves.
The Story
I'm Thariq, a Product Manager and Zero-to-One specialist based in KSA. My career hasn't been a straight line—it's been a continuous loop of building, measuring, and scaling.
I've worn the founder's hat (co-founding FieldR and Chonk Cookies), where I learned that a product isn't finished until it sells. I've also worn the corporate strategist hat (at Fortude), where I learned how to maneuver large-scale revenue pipelines and complex stakeholder maps.
What I Do
I bridge the gap between technical possibility and business reality. Whether it's using AI to optimize workflows or engineering retention loops that keep users coming back, my goal is always the same: sustainable growth.
Currently
Actively building new product concepts using AI-native tools — rapidly prototyping, validating, and iterating without waiting for a full engineering team. Open to Senior PM and Head of Product roles in KSA and the wider GCC, available immediately.
The Bottom Line
I don't just manage backlogs; I've actively co-founded companies from the ground up and run physical operations. If you're looking for a PM who thinks like a founder and operates with engineering rigor, let's talk.
