Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber
Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber,CEO,ADNOC Group
Since he took the helm of the Abu Dhabi National Oil Company in 2016, Dr. Sultan Ahmed Al Jaber has spearheaded a slew of changes at the company towards its 2030 Strategy. No, it does not boast the highest production numbers in the region, but there is rarely a quiet day for ADNOC.
Al Jaber retains his position at the top of our Power List for the third consecutive year thanks to his tireless efforts to transform ADNOC, and, arguably, the wider oil and gas industry.
In the past year alone, ADNOC has spurred a series of high-profile deals with international partners, opened itself up to foreign investors, announced a new integrated gas strategy to push the UAE to gas self-sufficiency, with the considerable help of a hefty $132bn capex between 2019-2023.
ADNOC has also looked outside of its typical limits, pivoting to Asia as a growth opportunity and making a push to further grow its downstream portfolio.
