Stanton Chase International is one of the top 10 Global Executive Search Consulting firms. Based in the Dubai office, which is the flagship office for the Middle East Region and the first in a series of offices to open around key markets of the Middle East, Wassim Karkabi has invested the last 14 months developing the office's client base focusing to a large majority on the industrial sector within the Middle East Region, a task which he has now been charge to lead and coordinate across Europe, Middle East & Africa.
Wassim joined Stanton Chase in 2007 where he took on the role of Principal Consultant of the Dubai office, developing client relationships and delivering executive search consulting services across the Middle East. He has an extensive background and expertise in the Industrial Practice, covering subsectors such as industrial equipment and machinery, real estate, construction, facilities management, electrical, mechanical, utilities, water, manufacturing, automotive, among others.
Wassim Karkabi has also completed numerous assignments for Consumer Products & Services clients since 1997 when he was a partner in an executive search firm in Lebanon working across the gulf countries.
"Over the last year and a half I have focused 80% of my efforts in growing the Industrial practice in the Middle East Region. Within Stanton Chase we focus a lot on developing global and regional accounts, and all our executive search consultants are sector specialized, hence the standard of having regional and global practice leaders. With the exponential growth that we have experienced in the UAE, KSA and the rest of the GCC, more mature countries have passed the torch of double and triple digit growth to the GCC's growing markets. More and more of our European and Global Clients are moving towards opening operations in this region, and supporting their growth is our main concern."
