A New Leadership Role at Almarai
Almarai has elevated Nabil Sleiman to Vice President of Marketing Services, marking the next step in his leadership journey with the Saudi-based food and beverage company.
The move follows his tenure as Head of Marketing Communications, a position he has held since 2019. In that role, Nabil has led marketing communications across a portfolio of more than 30 brands and sub-brands spanning the GCC, Egypt and Jordan.
His appointment reflects the experience he has built within the organisation and his contribution to strengthening Almarai’s brand presence through integrated marketing, consumer engagement and innovation.
Building Brands Through Creativity and Consumer Insight
With more than 20 years of marketing experience, Nabil has developed a leadership approach that combines creative thinking, data-led decision-making and an understanding of consumer behaviour.
During his time at Almarai, he has championed campaigns and initiatives that extend beyond conventional advertising, exploring long-form storytelling, gaming integrations, contextual marketing and AI-powered content creation.
His work has also contributed to a strong record of industry recognition for Almarai. The company’s campaigns have received more than 50 global and regional awards, according to his Athar Festival advisory board profile.
Nabil’s perspective on modern marketing places consumer relevance at the centre of innovation, with technology serving as a way to create more meaningful brand experiences.
Industry Recognition and the Road Ahead
Nabil’s influence extends beyond his corporate role. In 2025, he was named Senior Marketer of the Year at the MENA Effie Awards and recognised among Campaign Middle East’s Marketing Game Changers.
He has also contributed to the region’s marketing community through industry awards and advisory roles, including his involvement with the MENA Effies and the Athar Festival.
His move to Vice President of Marketing Services marks a new chapter in his career at Almarai, bringing his experience in brand building, marketing communications and consumer engagement into a broader leadership position.
