The Story

From Brand Manager to Industry Educator

Sherif began his career in pharma marketing in Egypt, working his way up from brand manager to leading digital marketing operations for some of the region's largest pharmaceutical distributors.

His move to the GCC accelerated everything. Working with MPS Bashirco, STADA MENA, Al-Dawaa Medical Services, and Zimmo Trading -- four of KSA's top pharmaceutical distributors -- he managed multi-brand portfolios spanning OTC pharmaceuticals, dermo-cosmetics, and consumer healthcare products. He led digital transformations, built e-commerce channels, and ran campaigns that reached tens of millions of consumers.

Along the way, Sherif noticed a critical gap: talented pharma professionals who wanted to learn digital marketing had nowhere to turn. University programs were too theoretical. Online courses were too generic. And coaching from someone who actually understood pharma? Nearly nonexistent.

PharmaGrowth was born to fill that gap. Sherif now dedicates his expertise to training the next generation of pharma marketers through community, coaching, and structured programs.
