Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum

Emirati businessman and CEO of Emirates

Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum built a career in business at a period when the rules of commerce were themselves changing.

The record lists Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum as Emirati businessman and CEO of Emirates.

Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum was born at Dubai in 1958. His recorded nationality is United Arab Emirates. He was educated at University of Denver.

Post-war business was mass-market and increasingly multinational, managed by professionals rather than owners.

He worked as businessperson, chairperson and chief executive officer.

His recorded holdings include Grosvenor House.

Enterprises outlive their founders or they do not, and that is the whole test.

That the business was built from United Arab Emirates shaped it: capital, regulation and market size differ by country, and they decide what is even attemptable.

Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum is still active, and the verdict on the career has not been reached.
