“We hired Mohammad in early 2008 to utilise his business development experience in the Middle East to help us break into the Qatar market. Within the first quarter, Mohammad secured two prestigious project wins. We have been very pleased with his work and Mohammad’s professionalism and ability to work independently in the designated territory. I have no hesitation in recommending Mohammad to any organisation wishing to leverage his skills and experience for business development engagements in the Middle East.”

I found the Xpand Middle East Guide extremely insightful and perceivably beneficial to entities contemplating entering the Gulf region. The knowledge and information shared definitely enables any business contemplating the Gulf as a viable market a valuable advantage to understanding the dynamics of the region pre-engagement, which are unique in many ways when compared to other markets, and provides a strategic catalyst in positioning such an entrance, creating relationships within the local markets and understanding the cultural components – all of which I view as pivotal in the success of establishing a footprint.  All in all, a great read and one, having worked in the region, I can definitely relate to in many ways!

“It is rare to find someone who knows how the Middle East markets work, and has a organisation with invaluable contacts to exploit the potential available. Mohammad offers all of this. He is probably the first person I've met that crystalises what this market is and how to work it for mutual success: customer, vendor and business partners. Mohammad is hands-on, know what is required to build the proposition and get it in front of the right people. When looking to do business in the Middle East talk with Mohammad first - it will save time & money!”
