United Arab EmiratesWhat I'm looking for
At Versuni (formerly Philips Domestic Appliances), I own a $50M+ business across 28 markets and 38 partners in Africa, CIS and Central Asia. Between 2022 and 2024, I more than doubled regional revenue and entered five African markets: Egypt, Morocco, Algeria, Tanzania and Uganda.
At Samsung Gulf Electronics, I held full P&L responsibility for the UAE and Oman Home Appliances business. I led its transition from an exclusive distributorship to a fulfillment distributorship model while protecting market share and revenue continuity, and built e-commerce into a core route to market through direct retailer partnerships.
At LG Electronics Gulf, I took refrigerators and washing machines to #1 market share in Qatar for the first time. Earlier, at Panasonic Marketing Middle East & Africa FZE, I owned the Beauty & Personal Care portfolio and ran OPSI planning across regional distributors.
