The honour was bestowed to him by the prestigious Forbes Middle East Magazine, at a specially convened gala dinner held at the landmark Oberoi Dubai hotel on Sunday 12th November, 2017.

Commenting on his award, Mazin Khoury said, “As a proud Bahraini, and as CEO of a major regional business headquartered here in Bahrain, I am delighted to be receiving this honour.”

"But this honour is much bigger than me. It’s for the 40 years-and-counting journey of American Express here in Bahrain and in the region. While many companies aspire to change the world, very few have all the elements required that we have here in Manama - talent, resources, passion and determination.”

"So I’d like to dedicate this award to our most valued asset - our 500 plus talented and passionate employees here in Bahrain and across the region who come to work every day to make sure we’re providing a service experience that makes a difference."

Recognised alongside other prestigious business leaders and senior executives, Mr Khoury was recognised for his astute leadership, business acumen, and 28 years of service that has seen American Express Middle East grow to become one of the region’s most recognised brands, synonymous with exceptional customer service and delivering unrivalled lifestyle experiences.
