Bio
Oliver Soufan
Although I cannot say i have worked with many Studio managers but i can definitely say that Sami was the most organized, professional & helpful from the rest. Not only was he great at what he did in terms of providing us with high quality, neat and inpecable designs, but he showed ownership towards his work. He strived to help us meet deadlines, keep client pleased & maintain a pleasant relationship with the Account Management team. On top of all that, he constantly put a smile on our faces, was always the big brother I never had & any office the employes him will be lucky to have him.

I worked with Sami for several years during at DDB Dubai, and would definitely recommend him to any employer. He’s very talented and organised and has great people skills. He held a senior role in the studio department and managed his unit team super efficiently. A lovely personality who can get along very well with colleagues from different functions across the organisation.
