Nalla Karunanithy has departed Majid Al Futtaim Retail where he served as Chief Digital Officer.
In a LInkedIn post, he said: “After 3+ long and great years, I bid adieu to Majid Al Futtaim – Retail to pursue my next adventure.”
“Goodbyes are hard. The mixed feeling l’m having as if I just dropped off my kid at college. I am filled with pride and some inexplicable melancholy at the same time.”
He added: “In the last 3+ years, midst of the pandemic, we scaled our digital commerce offering to 12+ countries & grew by 200x, with over 220+ e-commerce facilities, along the way launched the region’s first three fully automated grocery dark stores.”
“And in becoming region’s leading omnichannel retailer with over 470+ stores across 17 markets, region’s first unmanned store (Carrefour City+), and scaling (Mobile) Scan & Go to over 155+ stores with NPS over 60.”
“No mean feat against well funded competition in a diverse & fragmented market. I unlearned, learned and relearned many things during these 3+ years.”
