Preparing the automotive industry for disruption

As an annual tradition, I gathered my AMA Falcons to go over our 2023 performance and set our focal priorities for this year, and I can easily say that our session was nothing short of amazing! Attended by our esteemed Chairman and Directors, Executive Committee members, Senior Executives, and colleagues from across the Group, we had a lot to celebrate and proud moments to share.

Al Masaood Automobiles has once again received the Nissan Excellence Award and also bagged the Nissan Dealership Standards and Processes Award. What an honour it is to be leading a team that delivers higher and higher consistently. AMA’s success is rooted in a team that exceeds expectations and reflects its commitment to both our customers and partners.

Excited to announce the release of my episode in the Al Masaood season of ‘Stress to Joy’ podcast. Hosted by life and performance coach Arsalan Al Hashimi, we dive into a topic close to my heart: the power of pursuing your passions. 🎯

I am truly humbled to be named among the Top 100 CEOs in the Middle East by Forbes Middle East for the third consecutive year. This is much more than just a personal accolade, and would not be achievable without the support of our customers, partners, and of course, my incredible team of Al Masaood Automobiles Falcons.

I am incredibly proud that Al Masaood Automobiles has been awarded the INFINITI Global Award, becoming the first-ever dealer in the region to receive this prestigious accolade.

Undoubtedly, this commendation comes after a lot of hard work from the team, and relentless dedication that resulted in our overperformance across all operations: sales, aftersales, and customer service.

In the dynamic landscape of sustainability, the automotive industry refuses to stand still. Embracing change, innovation, and a profound shift in perspective, we're witnessing an automotive revolution. Players within the industry are on a relentless pursuit of Electric Innovation, the adoption of Circular Economy practices, and a steadfast commitment to responsible operations. Together, we're driving towards a future that's not just sustainable but ensures a better world for generations to come.

What’s the latest update in the automotive industry? Will car prices go up again with global inflation? Are EVs really the future of mobility?
 
All these trending topics were at the heart of my conversation with May Ben Khadra and Hussein Sayed, CFA on their program Boursat Al Alam, on CNBC Arabia.

In my interview episode of CEO Talks on CNBC Arabia, I discuss with May Ben Khadra a wide range of interesting topics within the automotive and business landscape in the UAE.

I recently joined automotive experts in our region in sharing our vision of the future of mobility, through an article in Gulf Business Magazine. In the article, I highlight how future mobility does not only revolve around cars – but more around solutions that are innovative, sustainable, efficient, and convenient. In a nutshell – solutions that are smart and green.

I had the pleasure of meeting CNBC Arabia's talented May Ben Khadra, for an interesting conversation on her show ‘CEO Talks’. In our discussion we touched upon a myriad of trending topics in the automotive and business landscape in the UAE and region.
