Background: 6 years worked in Security Systems family business in Kuwait (Product manager) playing key role in launching a new product line (Luxury Safes), set up supply chain and doubled revenue of the division, currently moved the operations from vendor based to inhouse production by acquiring a failing factory and I was involved in the acquisition (last 3 years as operations consultant - part time).
3 years worked as broadcast operations engineer in an automated broadcast plant, it's 24/7 production environment following manufacturing policies and practices.
