Forbes Top 100 CEOs In The Middle East 2022

The region’s top 100 CEOs represent 26 nationalities. Emiratis dominate with 19 entries, followed by Egyptians with 16, Saudis and Israel with 15. Combined they managed revenues of over $1 trillion in 2021. Their companies are currently collectively worth more than $5 trillion.

Irrespective of the economic environment, market conditions, and other factors, it is the CEO who bears most of the responsibility for the success or failure of the company they lead. This is becoming more apparent in the Middle East, where corporate governance has been improving for several years. There is now a clear separation between ownership and management in companies throughout the region. This trend is particularly strong in government-owned businesses, with even sectors such as defense and utilities now being incorporated and even being listed on stock exchanges. This has made CEOs focus more on long-term benefits that stem from innovation, technology, and ESG initiatives.

When we released our first Top CEOs ranking in 2021, the mood among the Middle East’s CEOs was focused on safety and the protection of business. This year has seen a reversal in fortunes, with record profits, new investments, large IPOs, and mega deals taking center stage. For example, so far in 2022, Amin H. Nasser has led Saudi Aramco to become the world’s most valuable company by market value again, usurping Apple. Meanwhile, Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber led ADNOC as it took three of its subsidiaries—ADNOC Drilling, Fertiglobe, and Borouge—public, with Borouge’s $2 billion IPO becoming Abu Dhabi’s largest-ever IPO.

This year’s list of the Top 100 CEOs in the region consists of leaders from 26 nationalities. Emiratis dominated with 19 entries, followed by Egyptians with 16, Saudis and Israel with 15. Banking and financial services is the most represented sector on the list with 27 CEOs, followed by eight telecom CEOs, and seven that each head energy and logistics companies. Combined they managed revenues of over $1 trillion last year. Their companies are collectively worth more than $5 trillion.

Methodology

To create this ranking, we sent out questionnaires and collected information from stock market disclosures, industry reports, annual reports and financial statements, and other primary sources. Only CEOs of companies headquartered in the MENA region were considered. Business owners were excluded.

We ranked the CEOs based on:

• The impact that they have had on the region, their country, and the markets that they serve.

• The CEO’s overall experience and time in their current role.

• The size of the company in terms of revenues, assets, and market cap.

• The achievements and performance of the CEO in the last year.

• The innovations and initiatives that the CEO has implemented.

Jimi Hendrix & Friends - Tinker Street Cinema, Woodstock, New York, August 10, 1969

How did Jimi Hendrix prep for one of the biggest concerts of his career? By jamming with some NYC free jazzers at a movie theater, naturally. Just a little bit before the Woodstock festival, Jimi teamed up with Juma Sultan, Randy Kaye, Earl Cross and some assorted Santana dudes for a loose set that gives us a tantalizing glimpse of where (perhaps) Hendrix might’ve headed in the 1970s. Obviously, he could’ve done anything! But it’s easy to imagine him getting into the more freeform jazz situations that would come to the fore shortly. Loft jazz Jimi? Whatever, it’s a very fun listen, with Hendrix occasionally dominating, but also just riding the wave. Thanks to Scott McDowell for playing a bit of this on the Frow Show a little while back!

Rich Lerner and The Groove Jam with Legend In “Jammin’ With Juma”

http://bit.ly/2GQ42YJ

North Carolina band, Rich Lerner and The Groove are no strangers to the jam scene in Greensboro for they have been established since 1989. The six maned band usually brings old school rock and roll vibes with covers varying from “Like a Hurricane” by Neil Young, “Little Wing” by Jimi Hendrix, “Little Queenie” by Chuck Berry, “Loose Lucy” by Grateful Dead, “L.A. Woman” by The Doors and many more.

Lately the band has been exploring a more original side of music with their latest album “Jammin’ with Juma” which was released late 2018 and features Juma Sultan.

Juma Sultan is a 76 year old musician best known for his appearance at Woodstock Festival in 1969 where he played with Jimi Hendrix. Sultan has been in the jazz and rock music scene for over 50 years and was featured in two documentaries involving Hendrix.

The album consist of nine chill, rock tracks and begins with “Hey Baby (New Sun Rising).” This track brings lyrics such as, “hey baby can I step into your world for a while” and brings long moments of instrumental vibes.

“Jammin’ with Juma” then brings chill, rock and roll sound with the tracks “Seven Sunsets, “Be Here Now” and “Spill the Wine.”

The five minute track “Ghosts of Jimi” features sporadic electric guitar solos, haunting lyrics and relaxed vocals. Knowing Sultan’s past with the legendary Jimi Hendrix having this track brings a dramatic, sweet feel to the album.

Overall “Jammin’ with Juma” brings major 80s rock vibes from the seasoned artist. Rich Lerner and The Grooves and Juma Sultan came together to get groovy and that they did. “Jammin’ with Juma” can be streamed on all music platforms.

Jimi Hendrix playing his Monday morning set at Woodstock. Photo © Barry Z Levine.

By August of 1969, Hendrix’s career was in a major state of flux. Holed up at his rented house in Shokan, he assembled a new group to play at Woodstock, which he named Gypsy Sun and Rainbows. This featured Jimi Hendrix Experience drummer Mitch Mitchell alongside two local Woodstock percussionists, Juma Sultan and Jerry Velez. The lineup was rounded off with two of Hendrix’s buddies from his days in the U.S. military, guitarist Larry Lee and rock-solid bassist Billy Cox. They convened for a brief but intense series of rehearsals in Woodstock before heading out to White Lake for Hendrix’s headlining gig.

As the sun rose higher in the sky on Monday morning, it was now time to bring the Woodstock Music & Art Fair to a close. The man chosen to cap the event was Jimi Hendrix, who got the honor after festival promoter Michael Lang tried and failed to book cowboy legend Roy Rogers, whose “Happy Trails” may well have been a poignant (if somewhat bizarre) closing number for that tumultuous weekend. Hendrix had been scheduled to climax Woodstock’s final evening around midnight, but scheduling delays meant that he did not take the stage until 9:00 a.m. on Monday morning.

By this time, the crowd had largely dispersed and returned to their regularly scheduled lives (although there was a certain glow to each and every one of them). About 40,000 people stayed to watch Hendrix and his new group get it on, a tenth of the total attendance of the festival but enough to intimidate Hendrix and his band. Nonetheless, Hendrix looked remarkably relaxed and composed as he walked to the microphone and casually remarked: “I see that we meet again!”

After correcting Chip Monck (who had introduced the group as The Jimi Hendrix Experience), Jimi and his comrades launched into a new song, “Message To The Universe” (later titled “Message To Love” and later released on the live album Band of Gypsys in 1970. The group worked fairly well together, with a full sound dominated by Hendrix’s white Fender Stratocaster. Another unfamiliar song followed with “Getting My Heart Back Together,” a song that would go unreleased on an album during Hendrix’s lifetime but which had been a regular live number for the past several months. Retreating to the familiar, Hendrix pulled out an exuberant version of “Spanish Castle Magic” from the 1967 album Axis: Bold As Love, in which he traded off solos with Larry Lee and even gave the spotlight over to Mitch Mitchell for a brief drum break.

Hendrix’s beloved slow blues “Red House” followed. It had been issued on U.K. pressings of his debut album Are You Experienced? in 1967 but had only just been released in the U.S. the previous month on the compilation, Smash Hits. Larry Lee was given a lengthy guitar solo, though unfortunately, his Les Paul suffered from major tuning and intonation issues which he would never quite recover from for the entirety of the performance. Larry was then given a chance to take a lead vocal with his self-penned ballad “Master Mind”.

Feeling the need to take things up a notch, Hendrix abruptly launched into “Lover Man,” another unreleased tune that would be familiar to Experience audience veterans, as Hendrix had been playing it live for the previous two years. With the crowd yelling for more familiar material, Jimi delivered the goods with a searing rendition of “Foxey Lady” from his first album, pulling out his catalog of crowd-pleasing bumpin’ and grindin’ guitar tricks. The set continued with two brand new numbers—“Beginning” (aka “Jam Back At The House”) was a monstrous and complex riff-based instrumental that featured another drum solo from Mitchell, while the anti-war anthem “Izabella” grooved along in a most appealing and offbeat manner, giving the audience a glimpse at the progressive fusion Hendrix envisioned for his future work.

It was now ballad time with Larry Lee again, as he got soulful on a medley of two Curtis Mayfield and The Impressions songs, “Gypsy Woman” and “Aware Of Love.” By this time, the crowd was still shouting out requests for various oldies, and Jimi obliged them with a rousing “Fire” from his first album. It was now time to take it on home; for this purpose, Hendrix lit into his standard closing number “Voodoo Child (Slight Return)” from his 1968 album Electric Ladyland. This extended into a jam with Hendrix trading off solos with Larry Lee; as this wound down he advised the audience that “you could leave if you want to, we’re just jamming, that’s all.”

This wound down to the crashing final chord and then, suddenly and without warning the band, Hendrix hit upon the opening notes to the U.S. national anthem “The Star-Spangled Banner.” The band tried to follow Hendrix’s lead briefly but then wisely chose to layout as he created magic. His masterful instrumental rendition of the anthem managed to convey the feeling of turmoil that gripped America at the time; nightmare visions of war and destruction swept over the crowd before he brought it back to earth with a peaceful reading of the final lines of the piece. This was a truly astonishing performance and one that would become one of the most enduring of all Woodstock moments and memories.

But Jimi Hendrix was not finished. To the delight of the crowd, he proceeded non-stop into the classic “Purple Haze” from his first album, delivering a mighty rendition of this golden oldie which was enhanced by the obvious magic he had just created. This settled into a lengthy instrumental improvisation, with Jimi running unaccompanied through a variety of riffs and styles. Finally, he brought the main set to a close with “Villanova Junction,” a slow and mournful instrumental blues that seemed like a requiem for the entire weekend. With that, Jimi left the stage with a simple “thank you.”

The crowd wasted no time in demanding more, however, and Hendrix quickly returned. Although he had wanted to play another new song, “Valleys of Neptune,” he gave in to the crowd’s demand for the familiar and closed out his performance, and Woodstock as a whole, with a strong rendition of his first single “Hey Joe,” sounding somewhat incongruous in light of what had come before it. With that, an exhausted Chip Monck bade the crowd farewell with a sweet, “Ladies and gentlemen, thank you so very much. It’s been a delight seeing you. May we wish you anything that the person next to you wishes for you. Good wishes, a good day, and a good life. Thank you.” The denizens of Woodstock Nation returned home transformed, well aware of the cultural revolution that they had helped create.

The Old Normal: Derek Taylor 2021

2021 marked my twenty-third-year writing about music. Across the avocation, I have taken hiatuses. One must, I think, to remain engaged, inspired and hopefully, relevant. Late September signaled another sabbatical and the good ship Dusted sailed on without my association. Reviewing for this publication and being part of its community of writers for the past two decades has been a pleasure and a privilege. It is a pursuit that I plan to resume in earnest in early-2022.

In the meantime, here is an annual tradition of trawling through the vast musical treasures released over the past twelve-months to construct a semblance of a list of those that sound elevated to these ears. There is so much in the world designed to deaden, diminish, and deter one’s faculties, but artists and the music they create past, present, and future continue to persevere and endear. Despite the tenacious primacy placed on self-interest in this country, we are still all in this together.

Wadada Leo Smith

Doyen Wadada Leo Smith was steadfast in celebrating his ascension to octogenarian early, opting to embrace the entirety of the year through a series of opulent and edifying releases on the Finnish TUM label. The pandemic pushed back, delaying several until after his December 18th birthday. The titles in the world as of this writing are all nigh essential, including the three-disc solo, Trumpet, the mix-and-match Sacred Ceremonies with Milford Graves and Bill Laswell, The Chicago Symphonies, conceived and scored for his all-star Great Lakes Quartets, and A Love Sonnet for Billie Holiday, which enlists pianist Vijay Iyer and drummer Jack DeJohnette in an album-length paean to the star-crossed chanteuse. The remaining titles are thankfully set to drop in February.

Joe McPhee

McPhee has an invariable and inviolable place on this list, year-end, year out. The passing of his brother Charlie in June 2020 was the biggest blow that year, but he kept a busy release schedule into the next across a variety of projects including the sensibly solo Route 84 Quarantine Blues and a handful of exciting ensemble ventures, among them: Flow Trio’s Winter Garden (ESP), the Blue Reality Quartet with Michael Marcus, Jay Rosen and Warren Smith, and The Sweet Spot, aptly titled in its assemblage of McPhee, Fred Lonberg-Holm, Michael Bisio and Juma Sultan, who turns 80 in April and appears to still be going strong.

Julius Hemphill — The Boye Multi-National Crusade for Harmony (New World)

Physical box sets are still plentiful and popular these days; this one managed to easily match the ask of its exorbitant price with the copious riches of its contents. Curated by the late Hemphill’s erstwhile student Marty Ehrlich, it is an “inside baseball” survey of the maestro’s work from the invaluable perspective of previously unreleased recordings. Vintage duets with musical soulmate and cello wunderkind Abdul Wadud? Check. String ensemble reimaginings of Charles Mingus compositions? Check. The list goes on, and Hemphill shines with scintillating consistency in every context, whether he is playing notes or not.

John Coltrane — Love Supreme Live in Seattle (Impulse)

It is hard not to harbor ill will towards the late Joe Brazil, who sat on the tape source that yielded this release for 43-years and subsequently left hungry listeners the world over in the dark as to its treasures. Yes, the balance is suspect, preserving Elvin Jones’ drums in stentorian clarity while recessing Coltrane to something of a muted, off-mic guest on his own gig. And yes, it is sidemen McCoy Tyner and Pharoah Sanders who subjectively shine most brightly in their respective solo features. But this is still very much a late-period Coltrane concert and one of plum circumstance and topical focus. The titular devotional suite receives a singularly expansive reading, one steeped in energy music extrapolations that set it starkly apart from both its earlier studio and Antibes renditions. Essential listening.

Stephen Riley

Another regular in these end of annum assessments, Riley’s now my depending-on-the-day favorite under-fifty saxophonist, simply because he aged out of the under-forty bracket. I Remember You astutely teams him with an old teacher, guitarist Vic Juris, who lamentably passed away several weeks post-session. Original Mind is similarly incandescent in its capture of a duo concert with pianist Ernest Turner at a Canadian patron’s home. Both deliver on the deep listening, colloquial improvisation that is not as common as it should be given the immense possibilities such intimate engagement accords.

James Brandon Lewis

Science no longer carries the pervasive cachet in public consciousness that it once did. Lewis’ music exists as an exhilarating rejoinder to this depressing directional turn. Inspired and shaped by the intricacies of molecular biology, his working quartet with pianist Auran Ortiz, bassist Brad Jones, and drummer Chad Taylor is proudly egghead on their sophomore album, Code of Being (Intakt), completely sidestepping pretentiousness for an abiding soulfulness and improvisational cooperation. Jesup Wagon (Tao Forms), is a sister project in that regard, working from a broader palette trading piano for cornet, cello, guembri and mbira in aural homage to African American scientist/inventor George Washington Carver.

Cecil Taylor

Taylor’s been gone almost four-years, but the archival wing of his discography is still yielding riches. Lifting the Bandstand (Listening Foundation) applies attention to a dynamic quartet as diverse in membership as it was in sound. Göttingen and Music for Two Continents – Live at Jazz Jamboree ’84 (Fundacja Sluchaj) feature two large ensembles: the first a sprawling variation on Taylor’s workshop venture, the second an iteration of his Euro-American orchestra bolstered by the heavy horn firepower of Frank Wright, Enrico Rava Tomaz Stanko. Corona (Corbett vs. Dempsey) frames a 1996 reunion duo with Sunny Murray with vocal choir while Live in Ruvo di Puglia 2000 (Enja) unearths a solo first set from a momentous concert with the massive Italian Instabile Orchestra. The master’s legacy lives.

Haasan Ibn Ali

A half-century’s worth of whispers and rumors finally came true this year with the release of two archival repositories returning pianist Haasan Ibn Ali to the limelight. Metaphysics dusts off his long-thought-lost quartet session for the Atlantic label with a twenty-something Odean Pope bringing Philly tenor heat. Retrospect in Retirement of Delay takes a deep and welcome dive into the solo side of Ali’s ivories-gilded expression through an extended program of standards and originals. Both are essential post-bop documents, indicative of a fiercely original improvisor who died tragically absent his due.

Fresh Sound

Strange that the most consistently satisfying jazz reissue label is this Spanish one that operates largely independent of stateside copyright considerations and still manages to produce product that frequently puts its domestic counterparts to pasture. This year signaled the launch of another series, “Rare and Obscure Jazz Albums,” which is absolute truth in advertising, returning seminal sides by the likes of reedist John La Porta and the Sandole Brothers (older sibling Dennis, a teacher of Coltrane) to circulation in two-fer form. Bassist Vinnie Burke, guitarists Jimmy Gourley and Arv Garrison, vibraphonist Bobby Montez, and pianist John Dennis (a contemporary of Haasan Ibn Ali) received similar regal treatment through their regular reissue line.

NoBusiness

This Lithuanian label is similarly persistent and dependable in its mission of balancing new free jazz and improvisation releases with impeccably curated archival editions. Most ambitious on their docket this year, Joel Futterman’s Creation Series: five densely packed discs of solo performances by the improvising pianist, doubling sparingly on curved soprano saxophone and creating arrestingly involving worlds of sound. Undulation, a fifth entry in the ongoing Sam Rivers archival series, documents a regrettably truncated fusion-infused tributary of his discography, while the Chap Chap series, revitalizing the work of key Japanese and Korean improvisers, highlights historical performances by saxophonist Mototeru Takagi and brassman Itaru Oki.

Ezz-thetics

A passing of torch in remastering engineers from the prolifically nonpareil Peter Pfister to the so-far worthy Michael Brandli, did little to decelerate the latest iteration of producer Werner Uehlinger’s Hat Hut label. The purview is still a balance of new recordings of creative improvised music and modern classical proponents and carefully refurbished and curated combinations of classic free jazz sessions from labels like ESP, Impulse and Fontana. Vocal detractors may question the legality and ethics of retooling these sacred texts, but there is no denying the proof of the enhanced fidelity on projects like New York Eye and Ear Control and Celebrating Bird at one hundred, the latter which adds further luster to iconic concert and studio sides by centenarian Charlie Parker.

Ches Smith’s We All Break — Path of Seven Colors (Pyroclastic)

Ches Smith had a cultural appropriation problem. Certain audience members started attributing the Vodou rhythms laced inventively through his music as his own creations. The drummer addressed the erroneously assumed authorship head on, forming a band with the Haitian musicians who had inspired him. This handsome, but still economical, box documents two of the ensemble’s iterations separated by a span of a half-decade and the outcome is one of the finest cross-cultural collaborations of improvised music in recent memory. Smith’s kit is a frequent fulcrum, but the singers and percussionists that surround him in both settings are on equal, if not more prominent footing in the figurative and literal dances that ensue. Everybody wins.

Natural Information Society with Evan Parker — descension (Out of Our Constrictions) (Eremite)

Originally released on vinyl, but beyond my scope in that format for reasons noted below, the CD edition of this double album as licensed by Eremite to the Aguirre label brought the music into my orbit and it has never really been absent since. Josh Abrams first assembled the ensemble back in 2010 and like the “ecstatic minimalism” it espouses, there’s malleability to both instrumentation and direction that feels simultaneously deeply organic and mesmerizingly optimistic. Recorded at London’s Café Oto in the summer of 2019, the concert finds Evan Parker augmenting the core instrumentation of harmonium, drums, bass clarinet and Abrams’ anchoring guembri. It is an inspired addition, as the saxophonist mostly sheds his usual acerbic accoutrements for a sonorously sustained euphoniousness that’s utterly disarming.

Joni Mitchell Archives, Vol. 2 (Rhino/Warner Bros.)

More of Joni as I tend to dig her most. Just a guitar or piano within reach and a repertoire threaded with both originals and folk covers that serves as a means of reciprocal satisfaction between her and audience(s). This second dispatch from singer/songwriter’s dusted-off and voluminous archives leans more to the former stripe. Delicate pathos and winding turns of veiled phrase and phrasing are still populous and personal no matter their sourcing. Fidelity is expectedly variable, but surprisingly listenable across the coffee house stages, TV and radio studios, living rooms and Carnegie Hall. Joni is vulnerably and venturously Joni throughout.

Baligh Hamd — Instrumental Modal Pop of 70s Egypt (Sublime Frequencies)

An invaluable hour-long survey of one of the undisputed innovators of Egyptian orchestral pop music, this assiduously assembled compilation still only scratches the surface of Hamdi’s vast discography. Similar to Salah Ragab in his openness to Western music forms and instruments as additives to a fundamentally Arabic musical foundation, Hamdi’s reach was wider, deeper, and more prolific. The sides gathered, sourced from 1970s albums, revel in intricate quarter-tone constructions and grand ensemble gestures that also benefit from the presence of ace instrumentalists like guitarist Omar Khorshid, organist Magdi al-Husseini, and accordionist Faruq Salama to interpret them. It is the kind of keenly programmed teaser disc that begs for an expansive box set follow-up.

Pastor TL Barrett & the Youth for Christ Choir (Numero)

A Chicago spiritual staple, Pastor TL Barrett recognized that rolling with the idiomatic changes instigated by soul music and proactively involving youth in his vibrant Southside ministry were crucial strategies in successfully spreading the gospel. Barrett recorded a string of albums in the 1970s that are optimal candidates for the royal Numero Group treatment. This CD edition gathering four of the finest of them along with a fifth disc of extras is an effective antidote to the “exorbitantly-priced vinyl blues.” The music is keenly indicative of that contemporaneous “Trojan Horse” tactic of cloaking religious teachings in musical trappings popular with secular circles to create a supercharged alloy equally appealing to audiences suited to both Saturday evenings and Sunday mornings.

Smokey Hogg — The Texas Blues of… (Ace)

Texan Smokey Hogg left a lot to be desired as an accommodating bandleader. Ruled by an idiosyncratic rhythmic compass that rivaled the likes of Jenks “Tex” Carman or John Lee Hooker, he often left his sideman struggling to conventionally accompany him. Keeping up with and catering to his quixotic whims just came with the gig. This compilation, the fifth from the UK Ace imprint, captures more of the weirdly satisfying gestalt Hogg was miraculously able to maintain much of the time. His vocals and guitar spill and slosh over valiant, often futile, backing and somehow stay compelling through a confluence of swagger and ad-lib invention. Solo sides confirm the scrupulous method undergirding his outward-facing arbitrariness. File under music ill-suited for fence-sitters.

V/A — Shake the Foundations: Militant Funk & the Post Punk Dancefloor, 1978-1984 (Cherry Red)

The UK-based Cherry Red imprint has cobbled a cottage industry out of curatorial box sets that also serve as enlightening aural textbooks around musical genres and idioms. This three-disc set applies a research lens to a loosely defined species of funk-influenced post punk that sprang up in British clubs at the cusp of the 1970s. Backbeats and corpulent, rolling bass lines abound, vying with jangly guitars, staccato synths and the occasional compact horn section to express attitude and anomie without sacrificing the vital supremacy of epic grooves. Simple Minds, Jah Wobble, Vicious Pink, Furniture, Perfect Zebras and forty-four other bands get single track opportunities to impart their parts in shaping the scene.

Dollar Vinyl

It is a not-so-secret secret that I have lived nearly the entirety of my adult life without a turntable. That has not precluded the procurement of vinyl, but it has necessitated playing it on borrowed equipment. The reasons behind the admittedly odd abstention fall to spatial considerations and spousal appeasement, but my wife signaled a sea change when she reversed past proclamations and gifted me a record player for my 50th birthday. Since then, it has been self-determined limitations of selectivity and a preference for dollar-priced vinyl with specific priority placed on vintage belly-dancing and Hawaiian/country steel guitar recordings. The specimen below is an especially enjoyable envoy from the first category and made all the better by the presence of a surf-meets-Anatolia guitarist in the accompanying band who arguably was on a steady diet of Omar Khorshid albums at the time.

Unleash the Archers

youtube

As a writer who professes a wide purview when it comes to ingesting music, I can still be stubbornly parochial towards certain genres. This is true of metal, where dabbling in unfamiliar bands is something done only rarely and sparingly. Unleash the Archers came to my attention during a lapse in defenses. Initially chafed by their sci-fi-meets-sorcery bombast and theatrics, these traits, amplified through unabashed earnestness that feels gloriously grounded in their British Columbian roots, are now aspects I unreservedly adore. Iron Maiden and Queensryche are indelible antecedents, but Brittany Slayes’ stratospheric pipes, twining melody-musclebound guitars, a Spinal Tap-style, revolving bass chair, and the math-meets-meteorological event that is often Scott Buchanan’s properly pummeled cans make for a reliably engrossing, fist-pumping, power metal result.
