Bukhamseen boss Emad Bukhamseen has scooped the coveted “Outstanding Contribution to Business Award” at the CEO Middle East 2013 Awards.
The Kuwaiti business magnate, with interests in 13 different sectors, walked away with the trophy at the event held on Tuesday night in Dubai’s Jumeirah Emirates Towers Hotel.
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.
