About Maryam

I specialise in facilitating international negotiations and commercial agreements between organisations in the UK, Middle East and Turkey. Fluent in Arabic, Turkish and English, I mediate communication, protect business interests and guide high-stakes discussions to mutual clarity.

I support clients who need to align suppliers, distributors, partners or leadership teams across different cultures, expectations and negotiation styles. My role is to create clarity, resolve friction and enable decisions where ambiguity, tension or misalignment exist.

What I help with:
• Negotiation strategy and preparation
• Multilingual mediation (Arabic/Turkish/English)
• Stakeholder alignment and conflict resolution
• Structuring commercial terms and responsibilities
• Clarifying expectations to reduce risk and escalation
• Cultural interpretation of negotiation behaviour

Outcomes clients gain:
• Faster and clearer decisions
• Lower commercial and reputational risk
• Trust preserved between negotiating parties
• Agreement structures that protect long-term value
• Fluency between Western and Middle Eastern/Turkish contexts

Industries served:
Manufacturing, distribution, retail, automotive, pharmaceuticals, logistics and cross-border supply networks.

Operating model:
Available for negotiation sessions, strategic workshops, supervised calls, structured deal planning and direct multilingual negotiation support. I also provide in-person sessions in the UK.

If you need negotiation clarity, stakeholder alignment and cross-cultural commercial mediation, I’d be happy to discuss your requirements.
