Regional Sales & Marketing Director at GEOTAB
  • United Arab Emirates - Dubai
  • January 2013 to January 2014

Very similar to the role in B Smart, I found Geotab in early January and they were in the process of setting up operations in Dubai. I went on board with an extensive and active client list with numerous active leads. Unfortunately the contract was on a commission on sales only basis and owing to the slow progress in setting the business up, and a couple of clients delaying orders no remuneration has been forthcoming and after 9 months without pay, I have no alternative other than to seek alternative work.

Business Development Manager at Al Mustaqbal Debt Collection, Sharjah
  • United Arab Emirates - Sharjah
  • March 2012 to April 2013

Employer Al Mustaqbal Debt Collection, Sharjah
Job Business Development Manager (current)
Period Current
Client
Numerous Clients but a position that is paid on a commission only basis. Cash flow is universally stagnant in the UAE at present and very few debts are being successfully settled.
This company currently owe me several payments in arrears. I no longer work with them for that reason.

Regional Representative at B Smart Technologies Malaysia
  • United Arab Emirates - Dubai
  • September 2012 to December 2012

I was tasked with trouble shooting a poor performance sector of the business in Oman. Essentially catastrophic business failure through careless lack of attention to client needs that was caused by an internal communication failure. I put my name and reputation on the line and made a number of drastic changes improving the business performance overall. Reference Mr Mohammed Al Shanfari. I thereafter returned to Dubai to set up the regional office. Unfortunately because of the internal corporate situation at the HQ in Malaysia and down turn in business in other regions, the company decided further expansion was untenable. So we parted ways in December

Employer Chrisal UAE - Pro Biotic Health Care & infection Control
Job Managing Director
Period 2007/8 to present
Client Self (Proprietor)
Overview
I have worked for more than 4 years in representing and building a new business in a revolutionary concept to the UAE. I have personally invested more than US$400, 000 into the business and have made inroads into the local market place.
Sadly a slow uptake of the concept and a shortage of cash flow has made the pursuit of our business goals untenable and I am no longer able to make the unrealistic or overly ambitious sales targets contracted under the terms of the franchise.

Achievements
Launched into the UAE Market, Have developed the basic product into several new areas that are being taken further elsewhere in the world (N America & Europe) . Made traction with a revolutionary concept against very stiff traditional competition who own the market
