Brown uses the example of Etihad , the second-largest airline in the UAE . “ We want them to bank with NBAD , not only in the UAE , but in Singapore and Hong Kong as well , for example .” For NBAD to support its customers and investors in this way , Jason recognises that the procurement team delivers its strategic value . “ We get the best commercial deals that help the bank maintain its competitive advantage in some areas , but make life easier for the people getting the service as well ,” he states . Jason plans for the procurement team to continue pushing the bank forward in the next few years . “ We do a lot of good things and we ’ re seen in the community as not only banking , but procurement . We ’ re known in the Middle East , especially as a team that ’ s doing what we do , in the right way .”
