Munch CEO gets sixth best entrepreneur in KSA accolade

The CEO of Munch Bakery, headquartered in Jeddah, has been ranked number six among top 60 inspiring and innovative individuals in business across Saudi Arabia.
In its 2013 annual report titled “Leaders Inspiring A Kingdom in the Business World,” Forbes Middle East, the regional outlet for Forbes Magazine’s business and finance news, Ibrahim Al-Shemimry landed in the sixth position for his work as a self-starter who brought Munch Bakery into a dynamic, high-impact venture.
The ranking is aimed at putting together a list of “individuals and visionary self-starters who have the power to initiate change and contribute to the Saudi Arabia of tomorrow.”
Al-Shemimry exemplifies one such entrepreneur and leader who continues to inspire the Kingdom, marking the Middle East as a globally competitive economy.
Al-Shemimry added: “The essence of being an entrepreneur is identifying a need and creating a solution. We are delighted by the success we had over the last six years in meeting those needs and we look forward to continuously provide an even wider range of confectionery items for our valued customers,” adding that “we have worked relentlessly to ensure growth while maintaining quality and freshness of each and every product.”
Al-Shemimry was motivated by an unmet need in the market and set out to create a trendy Western bakery for those who crave for mouth-watering, delectable treats.
In 2008, Munch Bakery was established and quickly differentiated itself from the competition through its top notch ingredients and rich flavors. Since then, in response to customer demand, Munch has expanded office space, opening five more branches with a state-of-the art factory, improving processes, while at the same time, continuing in research and development.
From a humble passion to bake cupcakes and cakes, Munch quickly progressed to a wider range of confectionery items.
