Combined, the 100 CEOs managed revenues of over $1 trillion in 2022. Their firms are collectively worth more than $5 trillion.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Amin H. Nasser, President and CEO of the world\u2019s largest crude oil producer Saudi Aramco, topped the ranking. ADNOC Group\u2019s Sultan Al Jaber and Ahmed bin Saeed Al Maktoum, Chairman and Chief Executive of Emirates Airline and Group rounded up the top three spots. These three executives have retained their ranking for the third consecutive year.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The 2023 cohort represents leaders from 22 nationalities. Emiratis dominated with 23 entries, followed by Egyptians with 19 and Saudis with 18. These three groups comprise 60% of the ranking, signaling positive momentum for localization. With 17 CEOs, the banking sector claimed the most entries, followed closely by real estate and construction with 14 and telecommunications with nine. Among the top 10 alone, six different industries are represented, illustrating the sector diversity in top leadership.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">Against the recurring priority of sustainability this year, the leaders on this ranking have accelerated their corporate sustainability measures to align with global commitments. Majid Al Futtaim \u2013 Holding\u2019s Ahmed Galal Ismail led the group to achieve an 82% reduction in single-use plastic consumption in the first half of 2023. At the COP28 held in Dubai, ADNOC Group\u2019s Sultan Al Jaber served as the president-designate of this year\u2019s climate change conference for global transformative climate action. Meanwhile, Dubai Electricity and Water Authority\u2019s (DEWA) Saeed Mohammed Al Tayer intends to increase its water desalination capacity to 730 million imperial gallons per day by 2030, up from 490 million in 2023.&nbsp;<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">To construct this ranking, Forbes Middle East assessed the CEOs using various metrics, including the individual&#8217;s accomplishments and implemented innovations over the past year, size of their company, and their impact on their firm and the wider industry. Only CEOs of companies headquartered in MENA were considered.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><strong>Top 10 CEOs In The Middle East 2023<\/strong><strong><br><\/strong><strong><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<ol class=\"wp-block-list\" start=\"1\">\n<li><strong>Amin H.
