Bio
Dory Kfoury
Mazen managed our GCC office in Dubai for more than 3 years heading the Client Management, Marketing/PR and Business Development for the region. He is an excellent leader - I admire his drive for results, high standards that he sets for himself and his team, dedication to producing high quality work on time and his agility to meet demanding client needs. He was always flexible to adapt to meet particular business needs, with a constant smile and flair. Also being prepared to work long hours and away from home at short notice. As a result, the company was consistently rewarded with a growing client base.

Mazen´s expertise in branding, marketing, business development combined with elegance and passion for the work and service he provides is definitely helpful to any entrepreneur/business owner as we have seen firsthand here at HATECO. His excellent communication skills and diplomacy together with the fact that he actually cares about, and values his client´s individuality, are furthermore qualities that differentiate him from the crowd. He is one of those guys who can be relied upon to do any role to the best of his ability whilst still questioning, analyzing and ensuring if it can be improved, he has great vision and not afraid of implementing changes. I am more than happy to recommend not only his work, but also him as a personality.
