01 / STRATEGIC COMMERCIAL & SUPPLY CHAIN LEADERSHIP

Hi, I’m Farrukh.

Executive Overview ↘

I’m a commercial operations and marketing professional with 26 years of dedicated industrial leadership across Saudi Arabia and Pakistan.

At Rajhi Steel, reporting directly to the Vice President of Commercial Operations, I oversee export operations and material handling for a premier steel manufacturing plant exceeding 1,000,000 metric tons annual production. In 2006, I founded the company’s dedicated Export Section from the ground up, establishing deep client relationships and expanding market presence across the Gulf countries.

Earlier leadership as Sales Manager at Dammam Wire Mesh Coating & Wires Factory (>100M SR turnover, 100,000 tons/year welded wire mesh, epoxy-coated rebars, and cut & bend steel) established my commercial mastery. As Management Representative for ISO 9000/9002 and OHSAS 18001 standards, and certified lead for Saudi ARAMCO product qualifications, I unite technical compliance with high-volume business expansion.
