In his new role he will be focused on growing the business across the MEAA region and integrating Menzies’ new start-up operations in Iraq and Pakistan. Starting in September, he will be based in the Dubai office.

Gemma Sinclair will bring 15 years of experience and invaluable insights from her global role at an oil trading company, as well as industry know-how from previously held positions at Emirates Group and dnata supporting their engineering, ground handling and passenger services teams. Gemma will also be based in the Dubai office.
