Dubai Holding on Wednesday announced the appointment of Mohamed Sharaf as chief executive officer (CEO) of Arab Media Group (AMG).
AMG is Dubai Holding's leading entertainment company with operations in radio broadcasting, event management and family entertainment.
In his role as CEO, Sharaf, a UAE National, will oversee the company's portfolio of prominent businesses including Global Village, the region's leading family and cultural entertainment destination, Arabian Radio Network (ARN), the largest radio network in the UAE with multi-platforms attracting millions of listeners daily, and Done Events, a multi-facetted and award winning events and live entertainment company.
Sharaf has over a decade of experience, having begun his career at one of Dubai Holding's companies before moving on to Meraas, where he led the investment team with responsibility for deploying capital as well as establishing and managing joint ventures. With Sharaf's appointment, five of Dubai Holding's seven group companies now have Emiratis as CEOs.
Abdullah Al Habbai, chairman of Dubai Holding, said: "At Dubai Holding, Emiratisation is a central component of our human capital strategy, and we are proud of the role we play in nurturing our national talent to enable them to take on leadership roles across the group. The commitment and dedication of our Emirati employees has always been a key driver behind our past successes, and they have been instrumental in ensuring that Dubai Holding continues to be a main contributor to Dubai's economic growth and diversification."
Earlier in the year, Dubai Holding appointed Bader Anwahi, a UAE national, to the role of CEO of Global Village. Anwahi, who began his career with Tecom Group, a Dubai Holding company, joined Global Village in May 2017 as chief operating officer before assuming the CEO role. Prior to that, he was a senior director at du, with responsibility for a yearly collection portfolio of Dh6 billion.
