Market-mapping of Saudi and UAE banks including Arab National Bank, Saudi Investment Bank, SAMBA, Al Inma, Saudi Hollandi Bank, Al Rajhi Bank, and adding hiring managers to the Huxley system to build up the corporate banking market. Headhunting of corporate bankers from Saudi Arabia and also from Egypt and Jordan to fill open roles with the above banks. Successfully carried out search assignments for Arab National Bank and Saudi Investment bank for Corporate Banking Relationship Management vacancies.
Also worked on a Group Head of Internal Audit search for a leading GCC telecoms firm and completed shortlist with qualified candidates with the required telecoms background from Australia, South Africa and US.
I also negotiated an agreement with Deloitte's MENA head office in Beirut in order that Huxley would recruit for Deloitte throughout the Middle East.

Prior to this I was in Hong Kong recruiting for insurance companies. My highlight there entailed recruiting an entire team of Financial Reporting specialists for the Asian regional HQ of one of the European giants of the insurance industry, which drew a comment from the Chief Actuary that to recruit this talented team was a once in a lifetime opportunity for his company. For this unusual feat I was honoured as Huxley MVP for the APAC region.

Before that I was recruiting finance professionals for the Duchy of Luxembourg and the European Capitol, Brussels, and my working language was French. I placed CFO's, internal and external auditors, as well as financial controllers and accountants, into banks, investment funds, and Big 4 Audit Firms in Luxembourg and Brussels.

Joined the SABIS school in Sharjah as a recruiter of teachers for the Gulf. I was then transferred to teach in Choueifat, a Druze mountain village in Beirut

كان هناك علاقة قديمة بين هذه الفترة و وقت طفولتي لأني كنت اعيش في بيروت بجانب الجامعة االأميركية خلال السبعينات اثناء الحرب المحلي عندما شتغل ابي في الأمم المتحدة بلبنان و في هذه الفترة الخطيرة انا و عائلتي كان نقيم في شقة بعمارة على الكرنيش في منطقة اسمامية في قلب العاصمة اللبنانية التي في الماض كان لها لقب 'باريز الشرق الاوسط

I was a recruiter recruiting for Irish Technology Companies. I placed C++ and Java programmers into technology companies including Baltimore Technologies, Iona, S3, Broadcom, Isocor, Norkom, CBT, ESAT, Cognotec, Sun Microsystems, Telecom Eirean and also Esat.

A good example of my experience in this role was the recruitment of a team of C++/Java programmers for Baltimore Technologies in the summer of 1998. Baltimore was an Irish company in the field of internet security and encryption. As I had a very strong network gained from years of working the C++ and Java market in Ireland I was able to rapidly recruit 6 programmers for Baltimore in June and July. This successful recruitment ensured that Baltimore had the engineering talent to develop the digital signing software in order for Bill Clinton and Bertie Ahern to conduct the world's first digital signing of an agreement between Governments during the US president's visit to Dublin in September 2008. I was the top recruiter for Baltimore and similarly would have been the top supplier of programmers to Iona, S3, Isocor, Norkom and Telecom Eireann.

In just over three years I placed more than 100 software engineers within the industry in Ireland.

Recruited C/C++ and JAVA software engineers for contract and permanent positions with commercial organisations and software companies. Clients included Iona Technologies, Digital (DEC), Telecom Ireland Software, IT Design, Apple Computer, Microsoft, Sun Microsystems, CBT Systems, ISOCOR.

Was the first specialist C++ recruiter in Ireland, recruiting for C++ back in 1993 when I was retained to headhunt OO developers for Iona Technologies, the first company to develop a corba compliant multi-platform Object Request Broker (ORBIX). This assignment showed me the future of computing and was the beginning of 7 years of outstanding success in C++ and from 1995 in Java also.

اخذت اجازة من التوظيف و كتبت مقالات التي نشرتها الجريضة الحكومية الأهرام. في ذلك الوقت عشت في المنطقة دقي التي قريبة من وسط العاسمة المصرية. من فضل هذه االخبرة تعلمت اللهجة المصربية و حتى اليوم ما نسيتها الهمد الله .

Joined Computer Futures, a small agency comprising nine consultants. I placed IBM programmers with Cics, DL1, IMS DB/DC, DB2, Oracle, Informix, Ingres, Adabas/Natural and COBOL & PL1 expertise into banks and commercial organisations in the London area.

My clients included Thames Water, where I did the first placement of my career, and companies like British Airways, British Telecom, Safeways, Amex, Marks & Spencers, Sturge Holdings, Lloyds Insurance, Black Horse, Sainsbury, Natwest Bank, Royal Bank of Scotland, Panasonic, and Homebase.

My expertise was to persuade companies and candidates to work with me on an exclusive basis and then to fill the job quickly.
