Al-Muhtasib Company was a small distributor for Al-Juffali Thermal Insulation Factory. I served as the Company Manager from the beginning of my tenure, during which I grew the company to become the largest distributor for Al-Juffali’s thermal insulation materials in Riyadh, as well as for SABTEX Factory.

I introduced new product lines to the company, including wood, waterproofing materials, epoxy products, and thermal insulation materials such as polyurethane and polystyrene. Under my leadership, the company became the official agent for Henkel Polybit and a distributor for Sika, expanding to four branches across Riyadh, Tabuk, and Al-Qassim.

Danube Company is the largest building materials company in the Middle East, specializing in a wide range of construction materials, including wood, reinforcing steel, manufactured iron, cladding, gypsum board, cement board, and more.

I started my career there as the first Sales Representative for the company in Riyadh, achieving a total monthly sales of SAR 2, 100, 000.

After my first year, I was promoted to Retail Sales Manager, where I was responsible for wholesale sales to traders, monitoring their accounts, and establishing monthly agreements for wood and steel quantities. This involved preparing a six-month quantity schedule with each company according to their specific material requirements.

I worked as a Sales Supervisor at Saudi Group For Construction Materials CO., where I oversaw the sales of 118 branches across the Kingdom. The products we dealt with included various types of wood, reinforcing steel, and manufactured iron. My role involved supervising branch sales and resolving sales-related issues, including pricing, product availability, stock levels at each branch, and setting prices for traders, contracting companies, as well as for cash and credit sales.
