GBC Leveraged To Compete With Global Players
Supply chain and logistics sector contributes to 14% of GDP
UAE, Dubai, November 2012: One of the region’s
leading specialist B2B consultants, Gray Business Consulting (GBC), has
further raised the bar with the appointment of Jonathan Guyer to head
their Logistics and Supply Chain practice.
Guyer
is considered by industry insiders as a leading expert, underscored by
more than three decades of multi-sector experience, giving him global,
regional and local expertise.
His
most recent remit was with the international food giant – the
nutrition, health and wellness company, Nestlé. His scope at Nestlé
included leading Supply Chain Integration in Saudi Arabia, as well as
heading the groups’ regional operational performance improvement
activities from Dubai.
“Jonathan’s
unique understanding and depth of the logistics sector of the region,
together with his well-rounded management and leadership skills make him
a key element of our expansion plans,” said GBC’s senior partner, Barry
Gray.
Citing
a recent study by the Supply Chain and Logistics Group (SCLG), which
suggests that 14 per cent of UAE’s GDP can be attributed to the supply
chain and logistics sector, Gray noted that this appointment is timely
and integral to the business portfolio of GBC.
“Indeed,
I believe that this winning combination of sector expertise and
leadership skills – a mixture that is often a challenge to find in niche
consultants – stands him ahead of the crowd. I know that Jonathan
demonstrates strong coaching and leadership abilities, and truly leads
by example. Additionally, he is an experienced practitioner of goal
alignment and structured performance improvement initiatives. ”
Gray
believes Guyer’s appointment gives GBC the leverage to compete with
global consulting organisations and play in a wider field of
opportunities.
“Jonathan
won an Award from the National Council of Logistics in South Africa in
recognition of initiatives he introduced for improvement of the
country’s logistics sector. He is seen as a truly world class consultant
with commendable insight in to the MENA region,” he concluded.
Gulf
Business Consultancy operates across the Arabian Gulf and offers
business development and performance improvement consultancy to local
and regional businesses.
