AME Info boosts management team with new GM

Ziad joins the Emap-owned business as it enters a new phase in its development. He will use his business, marketing and web expertise to build on and strengthen the success of the AME Info site, which is visited by 801,468* people every month.

He moves after four years in charge of eworks, the online arm of Publicis Graphics, where he oversaw significant growth and worked with clients such as British Airways and Hewlett Packard.

Ziad, who has lived in Dubai for nearly 20 years, has a degree in business from the American University of Beirut as well as Chartered Institute of Marketing and Webmaster qualifications, and will lead a team of 25 in his new role.

"AME Info is an unrivalled brand here in the Middle East, and I am relishing the challenge of taking it to new heights," he said. "The site has seen continued progress since it began, and our next phase of development will reinforce AME Info's position as the leading online business tool in the region."

Richard Baker, Managing Director, Emap Business Middle East, added:

"Ziad's experience will be invaluable in this exciting period of growth. He is a proven leader and his management expertise will greatly enhance the strength and depth of the management team at AME Info."
