For the second consecutive year, following in-depth research and analysis, Forbes Middle East presents the ‘Global Meets Local’ ranking—a lineup of top leaders who are spearheading regional success for global corporate powerhouses.

This year, Global Meets Local comprises a ranking of the ‘Top 100 Leaders in the MENA Region.’ The list features leading executives who head up the regional operations of publicly listed multinational companies ranked amongst the Forbes Global 2000. In a separate list, we also feature an unranked collection of ones to watch—23 business leaders who, so far, have served for less than a year in their respective roles, and thus, are not included in the main ranking.
