Abu Dhabi’s Chamber of Commerce and Industry appointed Ahmed Khalifa Al Qubaisi as the new CEO on Friday.
The Chamber’s Chariman Abdulla Mohamed Al Mazrui said that Al Qubaisi’s appointment comes in line with its three-year strategy to cement its position as the voice of the private sector and to enhance its role as a networking enabler, service provider and policy advocator.
“His appointment is a testament to the chamber’s keenness to attract the highest levels of competencies, who are able to realise the visions of our wise leadership in promoting the emirate of Abu Dhabi as the go-to destination for businesses and a highly regarded business hub on the world competitiveness map,” Al Mazrui said in a statement.
Al Qubaisi has over two decades of experience in business, investment and strategy. He has held executive leadership positions in finance and investment at ADNOC and garnered international experience through his tenure with British Petroleum (BP) and Ernst & Young.
He also holds a Global Executive MBA (GEMBA) degree from INSEAD Business School. Additionally, he has completed Senior Executive Leadership Program from Harvard Business School, and earned executive leadership and management certificates from University of Oxford and IMD Business School.
“I am honoured to be appointed as the Chief Executive Officer of the Abu Dhabi Chamber, this economic monument that enjoys a prestigious place within the business community locally and internationally, and look forward to building upon the chamber’s strong foundations to support and empower the business community,” Al Qubaisi said.
“Through working hand-in-hand with the chamber’s highly qualified and skilled team, I am confident that together we can unlock the full potential of businesses, and drive sustainable economic development and growth in the emirate of Abu Dhabi.”
