Ihab Abou Letaif

I am a retail operator and market analyst based in Venezuela. My work focuses on how convenience stores and small retail businesses operate in unstable economic environments. I study margins, inventory turnover, cash flow, and supply chain reliability.

I began my career working directly with retail operations, where I learned how small decisions affect daily performance. Over time, I gained experience managing inventory and pricing in high inflation conditions. This led me to focus on short planning cycles, weekly reviews, and simplified store models.

My interests include retail trends in Venezuela and Latin America, the growth of convenience stores, and operational resilience in emerging markets. I write about practical retail mechanics and share observations based on real operating conditions rather than theory.
