Dubai, United Arab Emirates
“I have lived in Dubai for the past 20 years and have understandably witnessed many changes here during that time. Some of these changes have been for the better and some haven’t, but one always has to evolve in order to succeed and the same is true of business here. One of the most interesting changes has been the transformation from what was originally a protectionist attitude towards business, to a more progressive attitude towards globalization, which just so happens to be the subject of my consulting service, Global Transformation. This is why I joined Appleton Greene. Many businesses here are international companies with headquarters outside of Dubai and in order to reach or influence decision-makers you often need to look further than local representation. In addition to this, I have to practice what I advocate. Appleton Greene has helped me to open doors with global corporations that I would not otherwise have had access to. They also provide me with an international brand, which while my clients may not always have had first-hand experience of Appleton Greene, it gives them the confidence of knowing that there are considerable international resources behind me.”
