Global Knowledge MEA names new managing director, Mazen Jabri

Jabri joins Global Knowledge from Cisco UAE where he started his service with Cisco in 1998 as account manager.

In 2005 he was promoted to Country Manager for UAE and then in 2006, he was promoted to General Manager & Operations director for UAE.

He has an excellent record of achievements with Cisco; most notably he helped to drive significant growth over the past three years and he earned multiple performance recognitions, the most important of which was Cisco GM of the year for 2007.

Mazen was also instrumental in driving one of the most important engagements for Cisco Systems in UAE and Middle East as Cisco became the preferred technology partner for Dubai Internet City from 1999 to 2005.

"I'm delighted that Mazen has joined Global Knowledge," said Richard Pryor-Jones, Global Knowledge president, EMEA.

"We have enjoyed tremendous success within the MEA region and I believe that Mazen's experience and relationships will help us achieve the aggressive goals that we have set for our MEA business. As a member of the EMEA management team, Mazen will also have the opportunity to leverage his contacts across a wider geography and add significant value to the Company,"; added Pryor-Jones.

"I would also like to thank Melad for his significant contribution during his tenure with Global Knowledge and I look forward to continuing to work with him when he moves to the U.S."

Mr Jabri will assume his position at the beginning of October and will be located in Global Knowledge's Dubai branch. He will report to Richard Pryor-Jones.
