Lakie, who has been with the company for three years, began his professional career in 2002 with Scottish tourist board VisitScotland and has worked on both consumer and corporate accounts across numerous industry verticals.
“I’m looking forward to the added responsibility, that this position carries,” he said. “Shamal has built a sterling reputation in the market over the last 12 years and continues to produce quality results for clients including Arabian Travel Market, Seven Tides International and Al Hamra Real Estate Development and, above all else, provides an outstanding return on investment.”
