“I am deeply honoured to be inducted into the International Retail Hall of Fame alongside such visionary leaders. Since our humble beginnings, our business has been built on strong partnerships, a deep belief in the Gulf region’s immense potential and our passion in inspiring, exhilarating and delighting our customers guided by our values of respect, excellence, and entrepreneurial spirit. We are proud to have solid foundations and to continuously stay agile, embrace change, evolve, transform, initiate, and innovate at every level. My sincere gratitude to World Retail Congress for this recognition, which is not only a milestone in my journey but also a tribute to the passion and unwavering commitment of the 16,000 incredible people at Chalhoub Group, who remain at the heart of everything we do. This award honors my team just as much as it honours me.”
