The CEO of LogiPoint, Farooq Shaikh, has over 20 years of highly influential experience in the Middle East shipping and logistics sector. Prior to moving to Saudi Arabia in 2009, he held senior leadership positions with globally recognised companies in the UAE, Pakistan, Kuwait, Iraq, and Jordan.
As a member of the core senior management team for the SISCO Group’s SAR2 billion Red Sea Gateway Terminal project in 2009, Farooq made a significant contribution to the construction, opening, and operation of the Kingdom’s first privately constructed, cutting-edge container terminal.
Since 2018, Farooq has served as CEO of LogiPoint. During this time, the company has grown and expanded while navigating a global pandemic, navigating the unanticipated consequences of the ensuing (and ongoing) perfect storm in the shipping and logistics industry, and effectively responding to a scramble for elasticity and resilience across the full range of LogiPoint clients.
