I am firm believer of the adage, ‘when opportunities present themselves, grab it with all your might’. Having the desire to become an advocate of change and innovation, I have been able to successfully venture into diversifying sectors and grab every opportunity that comes my way. Having more than 25 years of dedicated hands-on experience in business operations, ranging from manufacturing to construction, FMCG, retail, furniture, real estate and property development, I pride myself being a jack of all trades and constantly striving to mastering them. I have flawlessly held many senior positions across various organizations and currently play a key role in leading Al Huzaifa Furniture Industry. I have been instrumental in strategizing investment opportunities in the real estate market by undertaking major development projects. Having remarkable administrative and people skills, have helped me to train, mentor and retain 7500+ employees throughout my professional journey. My journey from, “educational campus to being a CEO”:Having passed my High School in Dubai in 1993, I pursued my higher studies at the Symbiosis Institute of Business Management in Pune, India. My earliest stint came about in the furniture industry in the year 1996 in Mumbai with Della Tecnica, currently known as Della Group of Companies. Dedication and immense hard work, quickly saw me climbing the ladder within the organization and was soon appointed as the Executive Director of the company. After parting ways with Della Tecnica, I landed into the FMCG industry. Worked two years as a Sales Executive to one of the oldest and leading distribution companies in the UAE called Ashraf & Partners. In the year 2003, I got an opportunity to be involved with Roshan Construction LLC, a start-up construction company. It was one of the most satisfying periods for me professionally as it gave me the experience of constant strategizing and execution at various stages of the growth phase of the company, wherein, the company eventually grew into being the top 10 construction companies of the UAE. In the year 2010, I landed an opportunity to join the decades old company Al Huzaifa Furniture as the CEO which till date, continues to be one of my best journeys as a business professional and we at Al Huzaifa pride ourselves being one of the most sort after furniture brands in the UAE and beyond. Later in 2017, a burning passion for construction & real estate development led me to co-found Build Well Holdings which is currently Dubai’s most premium landlord & management company for staff & labour housing.
