Fouad El Jabbour
@fouadeljabbour
I grow strategic retail accounts through sales analysis, category execution, and client partnerships.
What I'm looking for
At Nestlé UAE, I manage Lulu Hypermarket, the company’s second-largest account, delivering 13% year-on-year growth in Lulu Dubai against 1% national growth. I turn monthly sales analysis into action plans, negotiate business development agreements, and execute promotions, listings, pricing, and trade investments.
I work closely with Channel Managers, Category Heads, and Lulu teams on joint business plans, quarterly reviews, category segmentation, and shelf optimization. I also lead promotional quantity allocation across the UAE and optimize category discretionary budgets through ROI analysis.
Previously at Guidepoint, I supported global investment firms, government bodies, and leading consulting firms with data-driven market research and strategic projects across the Middle East, Africa, and Turkey. I led FI, TMT, and PIPE practice areas, drove consistent 30% monthly growth, generated more than $700,000 in revenue, and contributed to 160% year-on-year office revenue growth.
My background also includes client relations and insurance market analysis at Globemed, backed by a Bachelor of Engineering in Industrial Engineering & Management from the American University of Beirut.
