The President’s Message
Gathering knowledge should always be our prime objective in life. Even today I consider myself as a keen student who is very curious and eager to learn new things. Learning and Giving Knowledge had been my life. Spreading Knowledge or any knowledge-based solutions gives immense satisfaction. Whatever I have earned and achieved is based on my information gathering. I urge you all to make use of opportunities not only to learn and update yourself as a model citizen and human-being but as a successful person in career. Learning has no age-barrier and is never too late. Learning should be your mission. The world outside is getting tough and we can get our self-tougher by equipping ourselves.
Mrs. Marissa Safe – Vice President / CEO
Mrs. Marissa Safe is the Vice President of FDC International and a part of Executive Management.
An engineer by qualification, Mrs. Safe began her professional journey in the United States, working with companies such as LG and Everex Computers. Early on, she realized that her passion lay not in solution design or engineering, but in the business of selling technology. Upon returning to the Middle East, she founded FDC International, with a clear vision to focus on reselling computer products.
Over the past 18 years, FDC International has grown into one of the leading IT distributors in the region. Today, the company proudly represents an impressive portfolio of global vendors including Acer, Western Digital, Asus, Lenovo, Sandisk, Seagate, Synology, and Predator, among many others. While maintaining leadership in the components and systems segment, FDC has also successfully expanded into enterprise solutions, software, security, peripherals, and cloud storage.
For me, delivering technology solutions has always been a source of immense satisfaction. Whatever I have earned and achieved is the result of continuous learning and information gathering. I encourage all of you to seize every opportunity to learn, grow, and update yourselves—not only to become responsible global citizens, but also to excel in your professional careers.
Learning knows no age limits, nor is it ever too late to begin. It should be your lifelong mission. As the world becomes increasingly competitive, we can only keep pace by equipping ourselves with knowledge and skills.
