We have delivered over 600 programmes and forums to top-tier companies in the Gulf and now comprise over 4000 members, each with extensive knowledge and experience of operating at the most senior levels of business in the GCC.

Today we are globally recognised and the only director institute from the Gulf region to be admitted to the Global Network of Director Institutes (GNDI).
