Professional Experience
Since my appointment I have developed the retail brand and consumer proposition
aligned with local cultural, economic and commercial factors. Identified principle
partners and negotiated terms, secured exclusive product distribution agreements with
multinational suppliers. Created the correct infrastructure based on a solid commercial
plan and objectives, with clear and deliverable metrics in place to monitor performance
and progression towards goals. Development of Brand, its mission, goals and standards.
I have undertaken the recruitment, training and development of people and process
measurement and development tools.
Following the successful launch of the model I was given responsibility for the
rebranding and clustering of several other complimentary businesses in the group
including used cars and leasing, the concept being that these businesses would feed
each other with opportunity and allow us to exert greater control over the value chain
and exploit far more opportunities from it. The long term strategy is to transform this
umbrella brand into a wider GCC proposition.
The current sphere of responsibility is for aftermarket Service Centres, Leasing and
Rental, Trading and distribution of automotive related products, Pre Owned vehicle
program, Parts and Accessories retail .Automotive Bodyshop & Fabrication and
Automotive express Service centers with additional product streams and greater Market
reach than standard similar business models.
