GBC Leveraged To Compete With Global Players

Supply chain and logistics sector contributes to 14% of GDP

UAE, Dubai, November 2012: One of the region’s leading specialist B2B consultants, Gray Business Consulting (GBC), has further raised the bar with the appointment of Jonathan Guyer to head their Logistics and Supply Chain practice.

 

Guyer is considered by industry insiders as a leading expert, underscored by more than three decades of multi-sector experience, giving him global, regional and local expertise.

His most recent remit was with the international food giant – the nutrition, health and wellness company, Nestlé. His scope at Nestlé included leading Supply Chain Integration in Saudi Arabia, as well as heading the groups’ regional operational performance improvement activities from Dubai.

“Jonathan’s unique understanding and depth of the logistics sector of the region, together with his well-rounded management and leadership skills make him a key element of our expansion plans,” said GBC’s senior partner, Barry Gray.

Citing a recent study by the Supply Chain and Logistics Group (SCLG), which suggests that 14 per cent of UAE’s GDP can be attributed to the supply chain and logistics sector, Gray noted that this appointment is timely and integral to the business portfolio of GBC.

“Indeed, I believe that this winning combination of sector expertise and leadership skills – a mixture that is often a challenge to find in niche consultants – stands him ahead of the crowd. I know that Jonathan demonstrates strong coaching and leadership abilities, and truly leads by example. Additionally, he is an experienced practitioner of goal alignment and structured performance improvement initiatives. ”

Gray believes Guyer’s appointment gives GBC the leverage to compete with global consulting organisations and play in a wider field of opportunities.

“Jonathan won an Award from the National Council of Logistics in South Africa in recognition of initiatives he introduced for improvement of the country’s logistics sector. He is seen as a truly world class consultant with commendable insight in to the MENA region,” he concluded.
