Fresh Take:
Global juggernaut, Egis, has shifted its top brass in the Middle East and South Asia (MESA) region with the appointments of Gurminder Sagoo and Markos Apostolides. These strategic moves aim to turbocharge Egis' growth, fortify its market dominance, and maintain top-notch quality throughout all business sectors in the region.
Gurminder Sagoo steps into the limelight as the Chief Commercial Officer (CCO) for the MESA region. His mission? To lead all commercial ventures and drive growth, with the critical goal of producing revenue while keeping client satisfaction and brand identity at the heart of Egis' mission. With over three decades of experience overseeing market-oriented activities across numerous organizations and international locales, Sagoo's veteran insights will be crucial to Egis' success. His impressive tenure as the Country Managing Director for the UAE and Oman over the past three years has seen him navigate high-performing teams and orchestrate key initiatives in a wide array of business domains.
Meanwhile, Markos Apostolides takes on a new role as the Regional Director for Consulting & Operations for MESA.

With over 25 years of operational leadership and keen commercial acumen, Apostolides is well-equipped to guide Egis' growth and enhance operational excellence. Apostolides previously served as the Chief Commercial Officer for the region but will now harness his expertise to fine-tune consulting and operational performance.
According to Frederico Justus, CEO of Middle East & South Asia, these changes reflect Egis' commitment to align with local ambitions, particularly as infrastructure development and digital transformation become key components of regional visions.
