As CEO of the Abu Dhabi Future Energy Company (ADFEC), Dr Al Jaber is the driving force behind Abu Dhabi’s bid to build the world’s first sustainable, zero-waste, car-free, carbon neutral city — a goal that is slowly being realised as Masdar City takes shape in the emirate’s desert.

Masdar is Abu Dhabi’s vision and investment in the future of energy and environmental sustainability, a multibillion dollar, multifaceted response to the need for a global focus on green thinking and sustainability-related technologies.

Dr Al Jaber is also an advisor to the state-owned Mubadala Development Company. His broad-based responsibilities at the Abu Dhabi fund include direct project origination and execution in the energy, industry and utilities sectors, as well as relationship management with key multinational companies and government institutions.

The ADFEC chief serves on the boards of a number of local companies keen for his expertise. He holds a PhD in economics with emphasis on foreign direct investment from Coventry University, UK, and an MBA and BS in chemical engineering from the University of Southern California, US.

I'm Saudi, and I don't think Fayez Al Maliki should make any list here. No disrespect, but he's no where near any influencial status, he's not the best saudi actor, he's not very popular. he's the subject of jokes. it's just that MBC and Rotana keeps enforcing him and other nobodys in our Ramadan after breakfast time! he's not the director, he's not the guy behind this (Prince Al-Waleed)...I'm not sure i'd be interested in reading your lists again if the #10 is a nobody!

I can't deny that I'm a bit surprised with the list... Also surprised that many names are very new to me... But that's a good thing, for then I can search and find out who they are (tried it on some, and it's amazing what people have been achieving)...

But 2 quick remarks:
- Couldn't but be proud to be Lebanese, seeing that 17 names out of the hundred came out of our small country, which is war torn and has one of the lowest populations... I'm just wondering if all our Middle East finds peace, how much can we all achieve!
- One has to still admit that the ratio of men to women is quite high... Although some women made the list, but it's clear that we still live in a society that doesn't give women all the potential to realise themselves...

Great work and I have some more searching to do :)
