Almost nine years of experience in trading business allowed me to have a very good knowledge of soft commodity markets & risk management, with a specialty and strong knowledge of the sugar world & domestic markets.
During my professional career I worked for multinational and local companies, as I started my career with Cargill Inc, then spent a year at the UK working for ED&F man head office and now working for a JV between ED&F Man/Mediterraneo in Egypt.
Over the past years, I developed my analytical and conceptual skills that allowed me to manage the country trading position, negotiate/buy from the local and international suppliers, supply chain management and selling to customers.
My selling experience varies from CNF, CIF sales and distribution business Such as selling to Industrials & wholesalers with the full responsibility in managing Strategic, Key, and potential accounts represented in Multinational, Local, INGOs and Governmental customers.
