Hard work always shows

Omar has worked 7 years in logistics for Richemont in KSA. He was the first employee hired in the Kingdom to build up and grow the business. His experience has surpassed his expectations… If you keep faith in the future and your dreams, everything will come to you…

I really joined at the beginning of Richemont Saudi Arabia; I was the first employee! Over the years, we grew; we built Richemont’s reputation and local partnerships in Saudi Arabia. I received a full support from my Manager and he empowered me to lead several projects in KSA. With the open door policy and win-win mindset, we succeeded to achieve our goals. We now have 9 boutiques in Saudi Arabia.

A first in the Kingdom…

We were the first company to do a high-jewellery event in KSA. The whole country spoke about this event! It was a major success and we made history in Saudi’s customs! We did the customs inspection at our offices instead of at the airport like normal procedure. It was such a privilege! We received appreciation from the government for our high standards and trust. 

I learned…

My COO told me, “Hard work always shows”. This is a lesson that I have taken with me. We need to shine without pretending. If we work hard, the results will speak for themselves and this is what we were able to accomplish in KSA. I work for Richemont, as if it were my own company; I give my all. 

One thing that surprised me…

We work for a global group and we are all one family! You really feel that people know each other. Last year, I got the chance to go to the global summit in Berlin and despite all our different backgrounds and cultures present at the summit, it felt like we were one family. 

How I changed...

Richemont is a challenging environment that brings out the best in people. There is always a solution and we need to find it!

Wise words that I live by…

Be the change that you want to see in the world. You need to start with yourself to be an example for the others!

I am grateful for…

I am grateful for the support and the appreciation that I receive every day from my superiors and colleagues, for my work in general, and my family.
