Summary
As an entrepreneurial-minded and financially astute executive with strong commercial acumen and retail experience across different retail formats, countries, and cultures, I have been instrumental in enhancing the customer experience and in driving business expansion, sales growth and profitability. I am skilled at comprehending financial ratios to identify and target areas to improve business, optimizing/creating new business processes, adapting to different business concepts, and determining and quickly responding to customers’ needs with relevant business models.
With a strong focus on goal attainment, I strive to identify the strengths of my multicultural teams and motivate, inspire and empower them to deliver and measure success. I communicate effectively across all organizational levels, and think outside the box to solve problems and move initiatives forward. I have an extensive background in the U.K. and Middle East, and my breadth of experience extends across hypermarkets and supermarkets and fast-moving consumer goods and duty free retail outlets.
