“We are grateful to Abdul-Aziz Al Ghurair, an entrepreneur of extraordinary stature, for agreeing to serve as chairman of ABAN,” said Sameer Al Ansari, CEO of Dubai International Capital, the founding company of ABAN. “His experience and success will add enormous value and experience to our initiatives aimed at building private investor (Angel) networks throughout the Arab world.”
Lisa LaBonte, chief operating officer of Arab Business Angel Network, added: “ABAN is very fortunate to be joined by Mr. Al Ghurair, an advocate who so graciously and effectively bridges the entrepreneurial and financial worlds here. We are delighted to have the opportunity to learn from and be inspired by his example.”
