Bio
Peter Simmons
I am thrilled to recommend Abdou for any role that requires exceptional stakeholder management and project delivery skills. During his time working with me, Abdou demonstrated an impressive ability to work with stakeholders across the organization, ensuring that projects were delivered on time and to a high standard. One of the most notable projects that Abdou managed was the Portfolio Rationalisation project, which delivered exceptional results. Abdu was responsible for managing stakeholders across the organization, including senior executives and business unit leaders. He demonstrated excellent communication skills and was able to build positive relationships with stakeholders, ensuring that their needs were taken into account throughout the project. Abdou strong project management skills were also evident throughout the project. He was able to coordinate the efforts of a large team of contributors and was always one step ahead, anticipating potential issues and proactively finding solutions to keep the project on track.

Abdou was managing British American Tobacco subsidiaries in Morocco and some north african countries. He was the leader at the right place where he was leading all the sales and operations BAT teams and distributors, large key account partners and authorities. When he landed into the organization, he's defended a dream to make Rothmans leader in the market while leverage all the ressources toward that dream. Everyone followed, processes were reinvented and enhanced; and the dream came through! Amazing market share, best execution ever in the field allowing the targeted sales volumes and profitability. His energy mixed with his charisma made the teams respecting him and follow his directions with a lot of passion. I've personally learnt a lot from him in terms of vision, discipline, sales and trade marketing skills and finally to be the human every team needs to grow and achieve outstanding performance. Thank you Abdou for your support in my career and even personal life :-)
