“We learned about retailing while other families went on holiday. We started as bag packers, then cashiers. Aged 11, I remember figuring out that I needed to ask the right questions to make a sale. I celebrated selling my first toy on the ninth day.”
-Ahmad BinDawood, 34-year-old “down to earth” supermarket boss who started off working as a child in his family’s store, on his first sale. He is now CEO of one of Saudi Arabia’s largest retailers. [ft.com]
