Business Development Manager

Jan 2017 - Dec 2017
During my time with SeHus I took ownership of many business development related projects as well as assisted in many other areas. In my first few months I focused on setting up our B2B channels and establishing lasting relationships with key B2B customers. Successfully closed the company's first B2B deals with key real estate developers in Dubai. Towards the last few months with SeHus my focus was shifted towards our team and operation in Riyadh. In addition to setting up the B2B channels I trained the team on our products and competition. I also assisted in restructuring the team, operation and internal processes as well as selecting and opening our new B2C showroom in Riyadh. In addition to the B2B focus I assisted the executive manager in developing B2C operations such as online sale of our products and developing strategies with our partners to provide complimentary services for our products such as delivery and installation. In summary, my experience with SeHus was really interesting and rewarding. Since I joined the company in their early phase I was part of many different aspects of the business such as business development, branding, marketing, sales and operations.
