DGHR Launches ‘The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Program’ to

Empower Emirati Financial Leaders in Partnership with Emirates

NBD and ESCP Business School

The Dubai Government Human Resources Department (DGHR) has launched ‘The Chief Financial Officer (CFO) Program’, a strategic
initiative developed in collaboration with Emirates NBD, one of the Middle East’s leading banking groups, and ESCP Business School, a
globally renowned institution. The program aims to equip and qualify 29 distinguished Emirati leaders in the financial sector with advanced
skills and strategic insight to foster sustainable economic growth and institutional excellence in Dubai.

This initiative supports the objectives of the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33), which seeks to double the size of the Emirate’s economy,
strengthen its position as a leading global investment destination, and reinforce Dubai’s role as a center for finance, entrepreneurship, and
innovation.

H.E. Abdullah Ali Bin Zayed Al Falasi, Director General of DGHR, emphasized the significance of investing in human capital, stating:

“Investing in human capital and strengthening national capabilities remain a core priority for us. The ‘Chief
Financial Officer (CFO) Program’ marks a significant milestone in our efforts to empower Emirati talent. It goes
beyond financial skills development by nurturing strategic leadership capabilities essential for guiding institutions
with efficiency.”

He added that the program aligns with Dubai’s vision of building a knowledge-based and innovation-driven economy, enhancing
institutional performance, and strengthening public-private partnerships. “Through this pioneering program, we are transforming the vision of
our wise leadership into actionable steps to build a knowledge-based and innovation-driven economy,” H.E. Al Falasi said. “It demonstrates
the critical value of strong public-private collaboration, combining government expertise with global academic excellence to offer a world-class
training experience.”
