2016 GCC Board of Directors (BDI) 4th Chairman Summit

More than 60 chairmen and board directors convened in Riyadh at the 4th Chairman Summit, organized by the GCC Board Directors Institute (BDI) in partnership with Saudi Aramco. Our very own, Mrs. Sabah Almoayyed was one of the panelist of this very special occasion.

His Excellency, Eng. Khalid A. Al-Falih, Minister of Energy, Industry, and Mineral Resources, and Chairman of the Board of Directors of the Saudi Arabian Oil Company (Saudi Aramco), inaugurated the summit with keynote remarks, followed by a discussion with the audience which was moderated by Mohammed Al Shroogi, Co-Chief Executive Officer, Investcorp, and Chairman, GCC BDI.

With the uncertainty in GCC economies created mainly by low oil prices, high profile chairmen from across the GCC and international expert panelists exchanged views at the GCC Board Directors Institute Chairman Summit on the current issues facing leadership and best practice under the theme “Leading the board through changing times.”

The Summit featured two panel discussions titled “Staying ahead – the board’s role,” and “How to get the best from the board.” The theme of diversity was echoed by Dr. Khalid Al Faddagh, board audit committee member at Saudi Telecom Company. The summit also discussed the impact of cybersecurity in managing risk. Other panelists included Tarek Elmasry, Managing Director, McKinsey & Company, Middle East; Zeyad Khoshaim, Allen & Overy; Taha El Kuwaiz Chairman, Derayah; Sabah Al Moayyed, Managing Partner of Intellect Resources Management, Bahrain; and Simon Walker, Director General, Institute of Directors UK.
