First-ever U.A.E. national takes over as CEO of DUBAL - ameinfo

As a symbol of acknowledgement of the rising significance of national workforce in the UAE, Mr. Abdullah J. M. Kalban has been promoted as the Chief Executive Officer of Dubai Aluminium Company, DUBAL, one of the leading players in the world aluminium industry.


Mr. Abdullah J. M. Kalban, the new Chief Executive Officer (CEO) of Dubai Aluminium Company, DUBAL
This is the first time a UAE national has taken this senior position since DUBAL's inception 25 years ago. This marks the pinnacle of achievement for DUBAL, which houses one of Western world's largest single site aluminium smelters.

Read the whole article.

I've had the pleasure of two good conversations with Mr. Kalban, both at Gulf Research Centre events. He is perceptive, a deep thinker, and unassuming. He has an unvarnished view of reality and a love for humanity. He has a great work ethic. He is my kind of leader.

While the appointment surely is symbolic "of the rising significance of national workforce in the UAE" it is also on merit.

I wish you well in your new post, sir.

Kalban is purely a management person, not a good human being, he is human trafikker. He brings human beings from pakistan, srilanka,india,phillipines at the low cost, and treat them cruelly by giving them less salary in the market, arrest them in the camp, not giving them proper food, he want to save money, he is separating the families forcely, he is not a good human being at all.

As i know him for past 15 years, he is such a brutal minded management jackal. Not good for operators.He eat money, not food, he is purely money minded crocodile smiley.
