My name is George Abi Nader, I am 36 years old and a Lebanese citizen residing in UAE for the main time.

I am currently looking for a new managerial challenge. I have started my career in the Hospitality industry as a Restaurant manager, Multi Units Manager, Senior Operational Manager for some of the most recognized Catering companies in UAE, managing restaurants, catering and full facilities and lastly as an Operations Manager for a supply chain provider to the UNIFIL ( United Nations in Lebanon ) Among my responsibilities were the handling and planning for all the VIP clients’ e.g ADCO and others who requires the highest standards. In my role, I have been responsible for and led people with different backgrounds, religion, all in a multicultural environment. I lead by example and I see myself more as a leader than a manager as I enable people who work with me thrive, and to take pride in their contribution. Management is an art form, where all details contribute to the whole experience when all details are in place and everything runs smoothly I can take pride in what is my passion. I am a social person, honest and loyal and I like being in an environment where you receive an instant recognition for the good work you provide. I have a well-developed social skill set and I am humble in my approach, something I consider especially important at this level, as it is somewhat trend-sensitive.

As for my personal life, I am married and we have a daughter who's 6 years old now my leisure time is mostly spent in the desert as I am a passionate off-roader with my own small off-road group. I like the serenity the desert offers and it gives me a chance to contemplate and to meet my friends in an environment that stimulate true friendship. As I wrote I am from Lebanon and based on my education, I speak three languages fluently, Arabic, English, and French.

Kind regards

George Abi Nader
