Bushra Nasr, Global Cybersecurity Marketing Manager at Lenovo, shares her journey from launching MEA’s first gaming zone to leading innovative campaigns. She delves into cybersecurity marketing, understanding customer needs, leveraging data, AI’s transformative role, tracking performance, and building high-performance teams with integrity and purpose.
Welcome to the interview series, Bushra. Could you tell us about yourself and your marketing journey?
I’ve been in marketing for over 15 years, beginning my career at 17 designing kids’ comic books. As someone who’s read over 200 comic books, I developed a strong visual sense early on. My analytical side was refined at Microsoft, where I worked on global initiatives like the Microsoft Imagine Cup. At Lenovo, I launched MEA’s first gaming zone in a top UAE school and became an expert in e-commerce AI tools. Along the way, I’ve won awards like Effie, Cresta, AdStart, and MENA Digital Awards. I’m also a certified Chief Innovation Officer and have been diving into cybersecurity in recent years. Outside of work, I’m a race driver and a light aircraft pilot, which has taught me valuable lessons in marketing through trial and error.
