StarLink has announced a significant $400 million target for 2019, at its annual sales kick-off.
With major achievements in 2018 in terms of sales and business initiatives, the company has also revealed big plans for this year.
The VAD has attributed its growth to its unique business model harnessed by an ever-growing and integrated vendor base, expansive reseller network and loyal customers across the META region.
Nidal Othman, managing director, StarLink, said, “2018 was an exceptional year for StarLink and gave us the opportunity to reaffirm our position as ‘True VAD’. Though challenging, we were relentless and stayed focused on our journey to accelerate growth in terms of revenue for our vendors and partners as well as regional expansion.”
He added that today the company stands at a juncture where our paramount responsibility is to empower our affiliation with vendors, partners and customers.
According to the VAD, 2019 will witness new and strategic technology alliances as well as lucrative business ventures in the commercial space. In terms of geographic expansion, StarLink’s reach spans across 4 continents. With expansion plans into EMEA – France, Lebanon and Kenya in Q1’19, it will cover 20 countries. Furthermore, to cater to this growth, onboarding additional 50 highly skilled expert teams is in the pipeline, aiming to increase the StarLink family to 400 plus members across all regions.
Mahmoud Nimer, general manager, StarLink, said, “Whilst organic growth will continue, exploring newer pastures will be the focus for 2019. Especially in the non-Middle Eastern markets that holds huge potential and in the commercial business arena where StarLink will deploy adequate resources, as this would be one of the main growth drivers, this year.”
