Worked in Al Safi Brand, which is the main brand of Al Safi-Danone representing 60% of company sales; this was a challenging experience that gave me the chance to develop some skills that I wouldn’t have the chance to learn elsewhere. Due to the nature of the products and competition, the ability to find creative problem solutions in short time with high quality were key factors for success. Although Al Safi Danone work environment relies heavily on teamwork, I developed the ability to work under minimal supervision during the last year.
