I have Twenty-Four Years of Experience in several countries across the world working on various projects and at times dealing with the toughest clients with an overall successful end result.
I have been in Abu Dhabi for the past 12 Years. During this period, I have gained in-depth knowledge of the local market. I received great help from the connections of my father-in-law who had served in WED for 34 years. With skillful dedication, I have developed a vast network of professionals, investors, owners and freelancers in the U.A.E. and have different methods of procuring high net worth clients / projects.
UAE is an exceptional market, especially Abu Dhabi which is growing at a tremendous rate as a multitude of projects are on the rise. However, with all this growth there is also tough competition which paves the way for professionals like me as I have the ability to excel over the competition and to achieve the organization’s strategic goals & objectives.
