Major Achievements

- MENA Regional Business Development Director (Dubai UAE), 2010-2012 The company consists of two business units. The one deals with system integration and the other implements and distributes SAP business software. Reporting directly to the main board of shareholders in Europe I had the task to establish a solid base upon which the strategic deployment would rely. This involved taking the lead in the design of the services and navigating the organization to achieve the delivery of profitable results in line with financial expectations. This involved market research of the whole region i.e. Middle East & North Africa as well as the development of a solid sales force to support the demand created. I aimed for sustainable success, I stepped in and delivered. Return on investment occurred in 3 months after establishment. Average company turnover is approx. 15,000,000 USD. Management & IT Consultants – CEO, 1999-2010 Having solid experience of the vertical industry and the ability to shape strategic direction, for 10 years I demonstrated extensive experience of developing and implementing organisational strategy with the capability to translate a vision into a performing reality. After extensive market research and infiltration of the local B2B market, I increased the company’s size in resources by approx. 2,5 times and its demand by10 times. The profit margin escalated from 12% to 30% in two years and fluctuated from 30% to 35% in the next years. Customer loyalty is at 100% as they still remain with the company of an average turnover of 2,500,000 USD. Office Supplies - Logistics & Operations Director, 1997-1998 I had full responsibility and accountability to re-engineer the B2B and B2C processes, to reduce the cost of operations and to increase productivity and effectiveness. I delivered a mechanism that processed 720 orders instead of 44, yielding dramatic increase in profitability and customer satisfaction. This in turn increased the index of fulfillment - completeness and accuracy of orders - to 92% from 67%. The new operational model – marketing / sales / logistics -of the company rocketed the annual turnover to 60,000,000 USD from 6,000,000 USD. This opened the door to the stock market. Management & Marketing Consultants - Senior Business Operations Consultant, 1994-1997 Being the Project Manager of the project “Integrated Warehouse Management System”, I designed and supervised the full scale Implementation of a Location and Lot Controlled Warehouse Management System in Greece. In this capacity I increased the profit margin of our customer by 8,000,000 USD. Steel Manufacturer, I.T. & Logistics Manager, 1991-1993 As IT & Operations Supervisor of the “Packing List Project”, I successfully designed and implemented a semi-automated system to monitor manufacturing, dispatching and distribution of electricity poles to 2,500 sites in Iran. The project was 100% accurate with no flaws and generated a profit of 2,500,000 USD. We were acting as subcontractors to SAD/AEG Germany.
