Hello, I’m

Mustapha
Suliman

Commercial & Marketing Leader

Building growth engines across retail, digital and e-commerce.

12+Years of
experience

Marketing that understands the business.

My career started on the sales floor: learning how customers buy, how distributors think, and how products move through a market. From field sales and distribution in Egypt I moved into trade marketing, key accounts, brand, and then digital and e-commerce leadership in Saudi Arabia.

Today I lead marketing, digital, e-commerce, retail oversight and customer service for The Body Shop in Saudi Arabia. I decide what to promote by reading sales, stock, customer and competitor data together, then build the campaign, the content and the channel plan to move it.
