Crane rental and purchase company MYCRANE has appointed Shiraaj Shaleeh as sales head and Aashish Mulye as sales manager, both based in Riyadh, to its growing Saudi Arabia’s commercial team.
The new hires follow the recent arrival of sales and marketing director Aziz Amri for Saudi Arabia.
Shaleeh has 24 years of experience in sales and operations management, including senior regional roles at Al Maymanah Contracting Co. in the Eastern and Central regions, and most recently served as business manager for Expertise, a Saudi heavy equipment and crane rental company.
Mulye brings direct expertise in the crane sector from previous positions at Sarens in Central Asia and Sanghvi Movers.
Together with Amri, the pair will focus on expanding MYCRANE’s network of verified crane fleet owners and customers in Saudi Arabia.
Currently, MYCRANE has registered over 250 fleet owners and operators in the Kingdom, as well as nearly 500 customers from a range of industrial sectors.
The company’s local activities include an online crane rental platform and MYCRANE Trading, which handles crane purchase and lifting equipment sourcing from its base in Jebel Ali Free Zone.
The online platform enables contractors and project teams to request lifting services and receive proposals from verified operators without broker involvement.
MYCRANE founder and CEO Andrei Geikalo said: “Saudi Arabia is the most commercially active crane market in the Gulf, and we are building the team to match.
“Shiraaj brings deep regional knowledge of the Kingdom’s construction markets and established relationships across the contractor and procurement community we serve, while Aashish brings direct crane sector sales experience from both the supply and customer sides of the business.
“Together with Aziz leading the commercial function, we have a KSA team with the seniority, sector knowledge and on-the-ground execution capability this market demands.”
Founded in Dubai in 2021, MYCRANE operates across Saudi Arabia, India, and the UAE.
