Spearheading a game-changing business requires tenacity and bravery, and Halima Jumani, the director and part of the founding family of Kibsons Online Home Delivery Service, exhibits all these leadership qualities.
In a year that saw the central warehouse suffer serious damage when its cooling system was destroyed by a forklift, Covid-19 drive consumers to tighten their grocery spending and the supermarket segment become even more competitive in the UAE, Kibsons retains a loyal following.
Known for its quality, transparency, support towards the community, Kibsons under Jumani has paved the way in bringing these values and mission to life.
In addition to sustainability initiatives to allow customers to make a real difference to the environment, Halima has created 400 new jobs, increased pay for employees and given a 40 percent bonus for the overtime during the COVID-19 pandemic.
Jumani oversees all finance and operations for Kibsons as well as a team of 1,000 and over 5,000 daily orders.
CSR is also at the forefront of all Kibsons do and Jumani is proud to work with a number of charities and initiatives, raising funds help those less fortunate around the world.
Kibsons have raised and donated AED 100,000 to Gulf for Good and are constantly donating to worthwhile causes including Red Cross Lebanon. Jumani has an MBA from the London Business School (UK).
