Zarea will report to Carat Saudi Arabia’s Managing Director, Ahmad Haider.

Eyad is a great addition to the team and will work with talent from across the business to develop services that transform consumer and marketing data into insights that drive business outcomes. I am delighted to have Eyad on board and look forward to working with him to build Carat and our clients’ businesses in Saudi Arabia.”
