Bio
Mehdi Berrada
I had the pleasure of working with Didier Gabriel at BRF for 7 years, when he managed the Modern Trade for the UAE as well as when he was promoted to head the Oman market. I wholeheartedly recommend Didier for his strong commercial skills, strategic acumen, and exceptional collaboration abilities. Didier consistently demonstrated his keen understanding of market dynamics and his ability to identify growth opportunities. His strategic insights and market knowledge were instrumental in developing effective strategies that led to remarkable business results. In addition to his commercial acumen, Didier excelled in collaboration. He fostered a collaborative work environment and actively sought input from cross-functional teams, strengthening teamwork and driving projects forward. His friendly and warm personality helped bringing employees together. Didier's integrity, work ethic, and dedication were exemplary. He consistently exceeded sales targets and played a vital role in driving revenue growth for BRF. I highly recommend Didier Gabriel for any role that requires a skilled commercial professional with exceptional collaboration skills. His contributions to the team were invaluable, and I have no doubt he will bring the same level of commitment and expertise to future endeavors.

Organized Chaos is what brings out the best of Didier, He doesn't mind getting his hands dirty to understand the current process so that he puts a better process in place, his competitive analytic skills are nothing short from great and he has always delivered on his promises. At the end, one can't help but notice that Didier is always friends with all of his team members even outside the working environment and that for me is a fine quality. All the best.
