Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair
From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair (born 1954), of the United Arab Emirates, is the Chief Executive Officer of the publicly traded MashreqBank, the family's most valuable holding -- worth an estimated $8 billion.
Head of Mashreqbank, a leading United Arab Emirates commercial bank founded by his father during the Gulf's first oil boom in the 1960's. Bank profits were down across the region this year, but family's diverse holdings in real estate, cement, contracting, publishing and petrochemicals, among others, has helped soften the blow. Food division, headed by brother Essa, includes the Middle East's second-largest flour mill and ubiquitous Masafi mineral water. Al Ghurair chairs Arab Business Angels Network, a nonprofit that funds startups by young Arab entrepreneurs.
