Role and results
Meeting Point: role and results
From January 2022 to September 2023, I was COO for Meeting Point’s UAE and Oman businesses and Global Head of Operations across 17 countries. My remit covered operating strategy, business processes and a transformation programme of more than 20 projects.
The UAE business recorded a 40% uplift in profit per sale.
Before joining, I had helped design the four-pillar blueprint.
Your business could be doing more.
Growth is stretching the organisation. Costs are rising faster than revenue. Or a new system has left the old problems in place.
Those constraints limit what the business can take on next.
Work directly with me for senior advice or leadership of a defined transformation.
At two in the morning, the operation still has to work.
At dnata, I helped design the transformation at PA Consulting, then joined to lead its implementation. The managers doing the work exposed gaps in training and cover. We adapted the implementation so the new operation could work through the night.
