The second day of the 6th edition of the Top CEO Awards wraps up with a morning fueled with conversations over a business conference followed by a gala announcing the winners for this year.
The two-day TOP CEO Conference and Awards came to an end on Wednesday, May 18 with a grand yet somber awards ceremony where the CEOs recognized for their leadership and unique business models were awarded.
Hosted at the exquisite Palazzo Versace Hotel, Dubai, the 90-minute awards gala at the posh Palazzo Versace hotel in Dubai was attended by CEOs from all GCC countries. The awards were spread across 10 industries recognizing 10 CEOs of publicly-listed companies – a total of 100 CEOs were recognized out of more than 700 companies listed on stock markets in the GCC.
Special Edition’s CEO Julien Hawari, commented, “The TOP CEO Awards are the most transparent and credible business awards in the region because the evaluation process is based on a transparent formula that compares annual financial statements of two latest financial years.
“There is no nomination, no fee, and no jury for the awards. The formula has been jointly developed by the TOP CEO team and the prestigious INSEAD Business School (France) along with Dubai-based Hawkamah Institute for Corporate Governance,” he said.
Below is the list of Top CEO 2022 winners across 10 categories::
