Fujitsu Siemens Computers (FSC), the leading international IT company,
announced the appointment of Ahmed Khalil as the new Regional Manager
for the Middle East, responsible for managing the company’s
operations in the area covering the GCC, Palestine, the Levant,
Egypt, Iraq, Pakistan, Afghanistan, Malta, Iran and Yemen.
An Arab national, Khalil will be driving the FSC teams responsible
for sales and marketing, customer service, operations and channel
partners across the region. The appointment of Khalil signals that
Dirk De Waegeneire, Vice President, International Sales, Fujitsu
Siemens Computers and Jacquie Carson, Marketing & Communications
Director, International Sales, will be focusing more on their international
roles of developing the META (Middle East, Turkey and Africa) region,
enabling Khalil to take charge of FSC’s operation in the countries
under his responsibility.
“The appointment of a reputable IT professional like Khalil
shows FSC’s commitment in investing in additional resources
to bring further growth to the company,” said De Waegeneire.
“Khalil has worked with major global IT companies at the regional
level. His expertise combined with his thorough knowledge of the
region will allow him to guide FSC’s operations in the regional
markets within his scope of responsibility”.
“Fujitsu Siemens Computers has successfully implemented an
indirect sales model which has contributed positively towards strong
relationships with its channel partners, a strategy which I support
for achieving business growth,“ said Ahmed Khalil, Regional
Manager, Middle East, Fujitsu Siemens Computers. ”This strategy
has helped FSC achieve major success in market growth across Large
Enterprises(LE), Small and Medium Enterprises (SME) and Consumer
segments. Fujitsu Siemens Computers is a well established, leading
IT brand. This factor, coupled with FSC’s consistent commitment
to expand its operations in the region, makes me certain of the
solid growth FSC will experience in the Middle East. I am honoured
to be working for such as prestigious company, and I look forward
to making a concrete contribution towards fulfilling the company’s
goals and objectives.”
A graduate from the American University of Cairo, with a major
in Computer Science and Business Administration, Khalil‘s
earlier assignments were with Compaq. Before joining FSC he worked
with Toshiba as Regional Manager for the Middle East. His extensive
experience in representing the interests of multinational IT players
in a region that is filled with challenges and unique market scenarios,
will certainly help assist him in FSC’s continuous expansion
in the Middle East.
