Other big winners included Crescent Petroleum boss Majid Jafar (Visionary of the Year), Damac’s Hussain Sajwani (Property CEO), Etisalat’s Ahmad Julfar (Telecoms CEO) and Colonel Anwar Al Mulla (Technology CEO). Paris Gallery boss Mohammed Al Fahim won Retail CEO, with bootcamp founder Guillaume Mariole winning Small Business CEO.
