Joining SocialChain from Accenture Song where he was a growth lead, Abusham brings over 10 years’ experience in business development to the role, having previously worked for renowned media and content agencies such as Dentsu’s iProspect, PHD and WPP’s Bookmark Content, now part of Group SJR, as well as independent social agency The Tree.
Throughout his career, Abusham has managed a number of high profile new business pitches with an approach that is consultative, considered and solution driven.
