APPLICABLE WORK HISTORY
Taha & Partners Group
Baghdad, Iraq
I was the Project Manager for the IBIZ Mall Project based at VBC. I was the
Project Manager through construction of the Mall and Bowling Alley to the
set up, management and operating of the Mall center. This included over 12
retail stores, 4 food court stores, and further project construction of
additional stores. I also established a new LSA on VBC for the shop staff
of over 80 people.
Reed Incorporated (USA)
Baghdad, Iraq
I was one of the Business Development Managers for Reed Inc. Although we
were based in Baghdad Iraq, our office served the entire company in all
global locations: Iraq, Afghanistan, Sudan, USA, and Europe. As such we
were required to keep up to date with all contracting related information
for each sector (Laws, general contract clauses FAR, DOD regulations etc).
We wrote all proposals for the company to include full operational
planning. I liaised directly with current and potential clients, the GoI
and the US Military as required.
I combine my ability to speed read, analyze and comprehend at enhanced
speeds to produce a detailed synopsis for released RFP's or client
requests for the entire Reed Management staff in all countries including
the USA HQ, normally under 1 hour, depending on the number of sub-clauses
and sections per RFP. This enables the corporate body and local management
of Reed to quickly assess if the RFP is of interest and whom in the company
we need to utilize for input and quickly form the basis of an operational
plan. All this in turn increases the companies' productivity and ability to
respond to multiple RFPs/ Client request simultaneously.
