Award-Winning Shipyard Inspires Next Generation of Homegrown Professionals as part of the Abdulaziz Bin Humaid Leadership Program
Dubai – Gulf Craft, the pioneering Emirates-based shipyard, recently hosted a group of the region’s future business leaders, offering them insight on how to survive and thrive in an increasingly globalized business environment.
The initiative was part of the celebrated yacht and boat builder’s partnership with the Abdulaziz Bin Humaid Leadership Program, which aims to empower talented young GCC professionals with the skills they require to succeed and grow in their careers.
The program is composed of six distinct course modules that provide both classroom and experience-based instruction. Gulf Craft sponsored the program’s sixth module, which is organized under the theme ‘My World’, and focuses on global trends, leadership qualities, innovation, international protocol and etiquette, and business networking.
Participants spent a day touring Gulf Craft’s award-winning Majesty Yachts shipyard in order to gain a deeper understanding of the yacht and boat manufacturing process, as well as to observe how the different departments work closely together to create the shipyard’s globally recognized masterpieces.
“The GCC is witnessing exceptional growth, one that is characterized by a strong focus on diversifying the economy. However, the region’s future will be largely determined by the skills and capabilities of its nationals,” said Abeer Al Shaali, Executive Management Officer at Gulf Craft. “Only by harnessing and cultivating young talent can we truly create a sustainable business model. We view ourselves as part of this growth, and our participation in the Abdulaziz Bin Humaid Leadership Program is part of our commitment to helping the Gulf realize its tremendous potential.”
Members of the program also had the opportunity to meet with Gulf Craft’s Chairman, Mohammed Hussein Al Shaali, who shared his insights on the shipyard’s legacy and his vision for the company, as well as the CEO, Erwin Bamps, who shed light on the milestones that have led to Gulf Craft’s international success.
Ranked as one of the world’s top ten superyacht shipyards by the industry-respected Superyacht Intelligence Annual Report, Gulf Craft has helped put the UAE on the map in the leisure marine industry through its manufacturing capabilities and powerfully engineered, seaworthy innovations.
