”It is an honor to be recognised as a top executive in this dynamic and vibrant region. Working in the technology sectory is a reward in itself to be part of the positive change that the technology is creating to our society and paving the way for life in the Networked Society. This award is a recognition for the hard work that the entire team at Ericsson puts into their everyday job,” said Ibrahim.

For the third year running, Forbes Middle East presented this ranking and stellar event under the Global Meets Local theme at the Waldorf Astoria, Dubai Palm Jumeirah. The Global Meets Local study highlights the significance of the MENA region and its top executives on the global corporate stage. It was inspired by the prestigious FORBES Global 2000 – a ranking of the biggest, most powerful and most valuable publicly listed companies in the world.
