Hamada Alshafei

Dear Hiring Manager,

I am writing to express my interest in an Operations Management role within your organization. With over 15 years of progressive leadership experience in multi-unit food and beverage operations across Saudi Arabia and the GCC, I bring a strong track record of driving operational excellence, profitable growth, and high-performing teams in fast-paced, customer-centric environments.

Throughout my career with leading brands such as Starbucks, Coffee Bateel, ELAN London, Hardee’s, and most recently Lagardère Travel Retail, I have successfully led large-scale operations, managed complex P&L portfolios, and supported aggressive expansion strategies. My experience includes overseeing portfolios exceeding 200 outlets, leading teams of over 2,500 partners, and consistently delivering top-tier financial and operational results, including record ADT and profit margins across the MENA region.

I am particularly recognized for my ability to align strategy with execution—translating business objectives into actionable operational plans, optimizing staffing and cost structures, and enhancing customer experience through innovation, digital enablement, and disciplined performance management. I have also played a key role in launching new concepts, delivery platforms, loyalty programs, and large-scale store openings, while maintaining strict compliance with quality, food safety, and brand standards.

Beyond results, I am deeply committed to people development and culture. I take pride in building strong leadership pipelines, coaching future leaders, and fostering accountable, engaged teams that consistently exceed expectations. My leadership approach is grounded in clarity, collaboration, and ownership, ensuring sustainable performance and long-term organizational value.

I would welcome the opportunity to bring my operational expertise, commercial mindset, and passion for excellence to your organization. I am confident that my experience and leadership style would enable me to make a meaningful impact and contribute to continued growth and success.

Thank you for your time and consideration. I look forward to the opportunity to further discuss how my background aligns with your needs.

Kind regards,
