They said I was too small for my big dreams, so I built businesses across three continents and rewrote the rules entirely.
I was born in Lebanon during the war. By age 10, I'd moved houses 15 times and watched my father rebuild our home four times, each time from scratch. That taught me early: starting over isn't a setback. It's how you build something better.
In my 20s, I moved to France to pursue my Doctorate in Consumer Behavior. New country. New language. New everything. I cried more times than I can remember, questioning if I belonged.
Here's the part nobody talks about: even when I earned that doctorate, I didn't feel pride. I felt like a fraud. Terrified someone would discover I wasn't good enough. That's impostor syndrome. And it doesn't care about your credentials.
Then I fell in love and moved to the United States. Once again; new culture, new market, new life. Starting over. Again.
For years, I worked in corporate marketing across three continents, always proving myself, always navigating barriers, always being told what I couldn't do. I was good at what I did. But I still felt unseen.
I know what it's like to feel invisible, even when you're doing everything right.
Everything shifted when I started teaching women entrepreneurs how to market their businesses. Watching them go from invisible to fully booked, not because they changed who they were, but because they embraced their full identity and we built the RIGHT systems for them. That's when I realized:
You're not broken. Your strategy is, it's built for someone else.
I left corporate and built my business differently. Around my life. Not the other way around.
Because here's what I learned after building across three continents: the entrepreneurs who win aren't following the same playbook everyone else uses. They understand nuance, context, and complexity.
That's cultural intelligence. And it's for anyone navigating multiple identities, audiences, or markets. For women balancing motherhood and entrepreneurship. For anyone who's felt like they don't fit the mold.
Your complexity isn't a problem. It's your competitive advantage.
Today, I help service-based women entrepreneurs build marketing systems that work for their lives, not against them.
Not "hustle harder" advice. Not "post more" tactics. Not generic frameworks that ignore your reality.
Research-backed strategy. Cultural intelligence. Anti-burnout systems.
I've supported 2,000+ entrepreneurs across 15+ countries to scale strategically, not frantically. With systems that work even when you're offline. With strategy that honors both ambition and humanity.
You don't need to burn out to build wealth. You need better systems.
And I'm here to help you build them.

“Rana made me feel like I had everything I needed inside. Instead of telling me generic suggestions, she looked at my materials and work and pinpointed where I could focus to see the biggest impact. She also reassured me that starting small was not only ok, but a better direction for my brand so that I could really listen to my people. I felt empowered and supported. I also felt like she was telling me the truth so I don’t waste my time and money on things that won’t bring me results. ”
