GET TO KNOW PUMA MIDDLE EAST

PUMA Middle East is fast, hot and multicultural – just like Dubai.

WORKING AT PUMA MIDDLE EAST

At PUMA Middle East we're responsible for PUMA’s business and activities across the Middle East as well as countries in East Africa and Egypt, covering a territory of over 20 countries.


We have a healthy retail presence through our own stores, as well as partner stores in prime locations across the territory. In addition, we show an active on-ground presence through events and activations. PUMA is completely entrenched in the region and shines a spotlight on local events, campaigns and influencers.

Dubai

RISING FAST IN DUBAI

PUMA Middle East has been headquartered in Dubai since 2005. The city is always on the move, constantly growing and developing. Changes can happen in the blink of an eye. One week there's an empty piece of land and a few weeks later there's a completed apartment building, right there! PUMA Middle East feels right at home in such a fast moving city. Locals and expats hold Dubai in high spirits.

Dubai is a fast-rising cosmopolitan city as well as an established business and tourist destination. Dubai has been gaining reputation as a leading shopping and luxury destination in the Middle East with an amazing infrastructure. It's an international city with over 80% of the population being foreign born, and it plays host to some of the most exclusive restaurants beside countless street-style eateries.

UAE

PUMA in Dubai is a dynamic, well rounded, harmonious place to work. And I think it comes down to management - we have a really dynamic General Manager. Because the organization is so small, we all need to work together to succeed.

TOP SCORERS

Football tops the list of most popular sports in the United Arab Emirates, and, due to the expatriate population from the Indian subcontinent, followed up by cricket.

MAKE A SPLASH

We consider ourselves very lucky to have the warm water of the Gulf. It's perfect for water sport.

PUMA event

NO EXCUSES

The summers get pretty hot. But when outdoor sports aren't an option, there are ample indoor sporting venues. You don't need to give up your favorite hobby. You could even cool down by going indoor skiing or ice skating.

Esra Patterson

"I would describe my relocation to Dubai as one of the biggest decisions I’ve made. I moved from the HQ in Germany to Dubai to be closer to the market, the customers, the products, and to gain more expertise and responsibilities. I believe that if you want to grow personally or professionally, you need to challenge yourself and change things, without the fear of regret, loss or failure. I am super happy with the decision I made – being in such an amazing city and international workplace with so many cultures and great personalities is super interesting and so much fun." - Esra Patterson, Senior Manager Sales Key Accounts GCC

"Moving to UAE from Russia, gave me the opportunity to leave my past behind, reinvent myself and start from scratch in an exciting professional and personal journey." - Kirill Kazakov, Senior Teamhead Retail

ENGAGING WITH COMMUNITY

The PUMA value ‘Be Together’ goes beyond our office walls. Here at PUMA Middle East we organized a 2-day event in the United Arab Emirates for a charity called Mission for Seafarers,  which provides support to merchant crews in need around the world.


The action started with the packing of essential hygiene products, water bottles and t-shirts into 500 bags and finished with the distribution of the bags to struggling fishermen in the Emirate of Ras Al Khaimah.
