Amer Al Masri
Managing Director at Arab Business World LTD
Kuwait
Summary
My willingness to pursue my passion has put me through in a completely different field. Whereas my experience studying economics and international business through MMU university and The Manchester College has topped up my previous degrees in tourism, marketing, and hospitality management.
I had the chance to work in a number of fields in several GCC countries for about six years, besides my working experience in the UK for a similar period, this has made me more aware in regards to the huge differences between business cultures and various approaches to be followed when approaching a customer with a different mentality.
Whereas working independently, managing my own business has developed my networking skills, self-discipline, and multi-tasking. This has opened unlimited opportunities to cooperate with other businesses locally and internationally.
Experience
Freelancer
Retail Investor
September 2018 - Present
London, United Kingdom
On a daily mission chasing the news, economic readings and interest rate regimes around the world, I enjoy observing and analysing how all these weigh on businesses and the overall financial market.
I mainly trade major currencies and indices, however, when clear investment opportunities pop in the stocks I find myself unable to ignore. There are a few key factors you should pay close attention to when you decide trading is for you. fundamental knowledge of macroeconomic principles is a must, great attention to details and effective emotional discipline. You could make a decent income while you work at your convenience. Page 1 of 4
Arab Business World LTD
Managing Director
July 2015 - Present
Manchester, United Kingdom
Freelancer
Market Researcher and Business Junior Consultant (Ara speaking) November 2018 - April 2019 (6 months)
London, United Kingdom
I help clients (small businesses and individuals) to solve a problem they are facing, for small businesses and startups, I could examine the business structures, tuning the company vision and mission intact or find a solution for an existing obstacle, I found that sometimes simply few efficiency tips could do the job and move the business towards profitability. I also work with individuals as an independent business coach, I could start with them from zero, especially at some cases when they find themselves struggling to manage their finances, I could work with them finding quick solutions for an urgent obstacle or maybe recommend some materials to improve and develop their financial awareness.
For a more advanced client who needs to make important life decisions related to personal investment, finance or simply managing their business portfolios and protect his/her money from turbulence, I could work with them, step by step and by recommending the right investment or could browse with them a few business ideas to start with.
