Fragrance and personal care brand with retail and direct-to-consumer expansion
Maa Althahab operates a fragrance and cosmetics business spanning four product lines (oils, ready products, oriental bottles, franchising) across ~100 stores globally, with headquarters now in Cairo and manufacturing roots in Syria and Turkey. The sales-led hiring mix (11 of 25 active roles) paired with active marketplace, retail expansion, and influencer activation projects signals a shift toward omnichannel growth — balancing direct retail openings in prime malls with programmatic digital campaigns across Egypt and the MENA region.
