HE Mohammed Ahmed Abdullah, CEO of Sharjah Islamic Bank (SIB), has been awarded Mediaquest Magazine’s Top 100 CEOs award. The award ceremony was held at the Westin Dubai Mina Seyahi Beach Resort to honour business leaders of publicly listed companies in the GCC, where HE Mohammed Abdullah was honoured.
On this occasion, HE Mohammed Abdullah, CEO of SIB, said: “I don’t consider this award as a personal award, but rather as an achievement for the SIB family as a whole. I would particularly like to thank the SIB Board of Directors for their great support and prudent policies that provide an environment for success, and that have helped us overcome all obstacles on the road to excellence. This award, which I present to all SIB personnel, is an incentive to achieve even more in the future.â€
The selection of the top CEOs from the long-list was based on the financials of the companies in question. The means of selection was an open and audited one, with TRENDS working alongside INSEAD Business School to ensure that the formula utilised yielded the most accurate results. In addition, Hawkamah and Deloitte were brought in to ensure transparency.
HE Mohammed Abdullah was previously granted the Forbes Middle East award for Top CEOs in the Arab Financial Markets in 2012 for his performance at SIB and the growth achieved by the company under its Executive Administration and staff.
