Sultan Ahmed Bin Sulayem Propels DP World’s Global Logistics Hub in Dubai 
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, Group Chairman and Chief Executive Officer of DP World, is one of the main drivers of Dubai as one of the leading capitals of trade and logistics. Under the guidance of bin Sulayem, DP World has grown from a local entity to a universal supply chain manager of ports, free trade zones, and logistics parks around the world. The DP World CEO has built the organization’s competitive edge around the region by developing Jebel Ali Port and Free Zone into one of the busiest regional transit hubs and economic centers in the world. By investing in digitization and automation, Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem has created the framework for making Dubai one of the busiest ports in the world while at the same time positioning Jebel Ali Port as one of the most competitive maritime transportation hubs on the planet. In addition, Ahmed bin Sulayem’s vision fits into the larger economic strategy of making Dubai one of the three most desired destinations for business and tourism in the next decade as laid out in the D33 agenda, of which he is a key member.
Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem’s work in transforming Jebel Ali into a high-tech logistics park is just one part of a much larger vision. He has overseen the development of a global supply chain management system that connects Dubai with partners on six continents through the automation of container management and digitization of customs procedures. Ahmed bin Sulayem has leveraged technology and expanded DP World’s reach from trade finance to inland distribution networks and logistics in emerging markets.
