A Chartered Accountant by profession, Srinivasan joined ALMOAYYED International Group (AIG) in the year 1998 as Group Finance Controller, was promoted as Chief Financial Officer (CFO) in 2003, and has recently been elevated to the position of CEO – International Operations.

In this new role, he will be responsible for Qatar and Oman operations of AIG besides being in-charge of the following individual divisions: ALMOAYYED Trading & Contracting (Bahrain), ALMOAYYED Ironmongery & Fabrication Services (Bahrain) and Systems Applications International (S@I, UAE). As CEO – International Operations, his mandate includes foraying into North Africa besides ensuring profitable business diversification.

Having successfully initiated/driven the financial planning, legal/statutory compliance, and administrative functions of AIG during his stint as CFO, Srinivasan also took upon the onus of expanding ALMOAYYED’s presence across the Gulf. He had been the driving force behind AIG getting ISO 9001:2000 certification in 2003 and ISO 9001:2008 certification more recently.

In a short span of five years, Srinivasan has ensured ALMOAYYED’s successful foray into Oman and Qatar and his new title is a testimony to the outstanding efforts put in by him to assemble the necessary wherewithal – right from ensuring funding and establishing partnerships to finalizing business models and recruiting seasoned professionals to ensure business continuity and profitability.

The transformation from being a finance professional to management professional – including that of donning the mantle of an entrepreneur – could not have been achieved but for his business acumen and penchant to identify and seize opportunities. His ability to spot and groom talent deserves special mention along with his shrewd strategizing skills and deft handling of sensitive instances.

His 15 years of professional experience, prior to AIG, with large and diversified trading / service companies in India, Muscat (Suhail & Saud Bahwan Group & Delta Co. Ltd.) & Jakarta (P.T. Infiniti Indosakti) handling diverse portfolio of functions – including strategic planning, financial accounting, budgetary control, risk management, internal audit and taxation – has helped him in streamlining businesses of AIG and make a significant impact in overseas market as well.
