About ClientCore

Our
Foundation.

ClientCore was founded on a simple but powerful belief: that real commercial growth doesn't come from reports and recommendations — it comes from people who have actually built markets, led teams in the field, and taken full accountability for results.

Established two years ago, we bring a builder's mindset to every engagement. No theory. No distance. Real-world expertise applied from the inside.

01
Who We Are

Our
Expertise.

We are a B2B trading and commercial company specialising in emerging markets across the world. Our work sits at the intersection of strategy and execution — connecting the right brands to the right distribution networks, in the right markets, at the right time.

Our leadership has spent over two decades inside Japan Tobacco International, Nakhla Tobacco, Nestlé, and Danone — building commercial organisations and managing portfolios across 45+ countries.

"We don't advise from the outside. We've been inside — building, growing, and fixing — for over 25 years."

The Experience
Behind the Company.

01

A Builder,
Not an Advisor.

Zakaria is a builder. Over a career spanning Japan Tobacco International, Nakhla Tobacco, Nestlé, and Danone, he has held senior leadership roles across Saudi Arabia, the UAE, Egypt, Lebanon, and international markets — always with full P&L ownership and always delivering results.

02

Proven
at Scale.

He established JTI's commercial presence in Saudi Arabia and Bahrain from the ground up. He led the post-acquisition integration of Nakhla Tobacco in Egypt, building a 400-person commercial organisation across 5 distribution centres and achieving 80% CAGR volume growth.

03

The Full Commercial
Ecosystem.

His expertise spans trading, portfolio strategy, pricing architecture, route-to-market design, distributor development, brand equity, consumer insights, and organisational build. He is equally effective in boardrooms and in the field — and that combination is the foundation ClientCore is built on.
