"Vale is the other harbor that I have stood in front of after my house to fulfill all its responsibilities."
Elias Zoghbi

‘’After working in Africa for eight years, I was very lucky and glad to be given the opportunity to move to Oman and work for a giant multinational company (Vale Oman). I was really given the chance to expand my experience in the pelletizing field, as well as merge with new and different cultures. The professionalism, collaboration, flexibility, and support that Vale’s working environment provides, cannot be easily found elsewhere. These factors made me feel safe and encouraged me to always seek the best for my team and the company in general when working to achieve our designated target."

This means having the opportunity to learn more in our day to day activities exchanging experiences with our colleagues, sharing our knowledge with young talents, to see their growth and feel pride in seeing that the seeds planted are bearing fruit, is to work in a team motivated to overcome challenges and break records. I am proud to be a part of Vale Oman's history.”
