As a professional qualified Horticulturist (PhD, MBA) and Landscape and Nursery specialist with strong Managerial and Business skills, that is result driven, awarded with 36 gold medals for Landscape-design and projects with over 26 years experience of which 6 years in the GCC - therefore I am the person to spearhead any Landscape Company, Nursery, Senior Management or Consultant position.
I don't settle for second best and with a proven RSA, UAE and GCC Landscape and Nursery track record, i demonstrate a passion and enthusiasm for my work, with an ability to accomplish my goals and achieve world class standard that is in definite need for any project or company to achieve their goal. As an expert in my field and also MBA -qualified with over 20 years managerial experience, I'm a responsible and well communicative leader on all levels through briefings, reports and presentations. I also believe in a well planned agenda to lead effectively and to inspire and engage others to accomplish our mutual goals & deadlines and also having a sincere interest in job satisfaction and their well-being. I'm also a firm believer in sharing knowledge and experience and would introduce training (technical and practical) on a weekly or as needed basis to all employees.
During the last 3 years I've worked on several prestigious projects: (See CV)
Saudi Arabia: KAUST - King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (3800 employees)
KAEC - King Abdullah Economic City (600 employees)
UAE: Dubai (800 employees), Ras al -Khaima, Fujairah, Al Ain and Abu Dhabi (2200 employees)
I have substantial knowledge and experience in RSA / KSA / UAE / AFRICA, concerning Landscaping, Horticultural and Nursery aspects in Coastal, Urban, Empty Quarter Desert and Island projects. I've worked closely with the Client / Developer / Contractor / Sub- Contractors / Consultants and highly experienced in large and super size projects and landscape projects with total budgets between 1 Million – 500 Million DHS
I believe in pushing the boundaries and to think outside the box, especially with this responsibility one would firstly re-think the current landscape and Nursery aspects in terms of Green sustainability, water saving, aesthetic aspects and also introducing new plant species and varieties that would bring a new dimension to any project or company.
Water saving in landscape projects and in Nursery production is a sincere and high on the agenda aspect for me and therefore I have studied the available natural products on the market that would assist any project or client in this matter and currently I am busy with further nursery - and field studies on same and on completion this report to be published in the Landscape-ME Magazine.
I also studied new plant species & varieties; conditions and new Landscape techniques that would bring substantial savings to any project - further more I'm also busy with research to co-write a book on Landscape-/ Horticultural- & Nursery aspects for the M E.
In conclusion, i would cherish the opportunity to be involved with such a prestigious Group of Companies.
Regards,
Dr.H.A.Moolman

LETTER 1:
Subject: Dr. Andre Moolman Letter of Recommendation
To whom it may concern:
It is my professional honour to recommend Andre Moolman with the highest quality.
Under my responsibility, Andre Moolman, provided a very broad range of horticultural management and technical skills in the extremely successful opening of the Qasr Al Sarab 5* Desert Resort Complex this past year.
He oversaw nursery preparation, soil preparation, transportation logistics, installation and all horticultural activities critical to plant establishment in the extreme environmental conditions of the Empty Quarter. The project to this day continues to grow and establish due to his mastery of all professional skills.
I have been designing, constructing and maintaining very large gardens across the Arabian peninsula, from the Red Sea to the Arabian Gulf since 1983, and I have seen no one to match Andre Moolman's skills. He is the best!
I heartily recommend him to establish any program or project requiring the highest international horticultural quality.
Please contact me if you wish any further clarification.
With kind regards,

LETTER 2:
To whom it may concern,
Re: Dr. Andre Moolman
During 2009 / 2010, I worked with Andre during the construction phase of the vast
Qasr Al Sarab Resort and Spa in Abu Dhabi's Empty Quarter desert. I was
Senior Project Manager interfacing directly with the Client (TDIC) on this
project.
Andre was instrumental in managing a very challenging Landscaping
Contractor on the project. Andre invested extensive time and effort in
working with and monitoring the Contractor to a successful outcome.
Andre has extensive Middle East work experience.
I highly recommend Andre for further Landscaping and Horticulturist
projects and would be happy to work with Andre again in the future.
Please email / call me anytime if you wish to discuss further.
Regards,
James
