(PRWEB) September 26, 2014 -- PEOPLECERT (http://www.peoplecert.org) has today announced the appointment of Mr. Bilal Sabouni as Director for the Middle East, Africa & Asia.
Currently based at PEOPLECERT’s operational headquarters in Athens, Bilal will help identify new global business opportunities and bolster PEOPLECERT’s effort to expand globally, focusing on key markets in the Middle East, African and Asian regions.
Bilal’s first focus will be to identify key markets to establish PEOPLECERT presence - either by direct representation or via joint ventures and partnerships.

Byron Nicolaides, PEOPLECERT’s Chairman & CEO says: "Bilal joins us at a time of accelerated growth and heavy investment in our current portfolio as well as in new business segment opportunities. The Middle East, Africa and Asian regions are markets of great cultural variety and different training and certification needs that only someone with Bilal’s in-depth experience and expertise can meet. I am confident that his market know-how, supported by PEOPLECERT’s flexibility to deliver customisable solutions taking into consideration the various cultural differences within the training and certification industry, will truly allow PEOPLECERT to offer an unbeatable value proposition to organisations and governments across the region”.
Bilal Sabouni says: "It gives me great pleasure to join PEOPLECERT’s management team in this exciting new international role. PEOPLECERT is the fastest growing international certification body in the world and is globally recognised for its reputation as a high quality service provider.
