This distinguished program represents a significant step in the DGHR’s mission to support
the objectives of the Dubai Economic Agenda (D33), which aims to double the size of the
Emirate’s economy, enhance its appeal as a global investment destination, and strengthen
its position as a financial, entrepreneurial and innovation hub.

H.E. Abdullah Ali Bin Zayed Al Falasi, Director General of DGHR, said: “Investing in human
capital and strengthening national capabilities remain a core priority for us. The ‘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.”

leadership into actionable steps to build a knowledge-based and innovation-driven economy.
It will enhance institutional performance, elevate the leadership capabilities of professionals,
and reinforce Dubai’s position as a global hub for finance and business. The program also
demonstrates the critical value of strong public-private partnerships, where government
expertise is combined with global academic excellence to offer an unparalleled training
experience. It opens new pathways for participants to thrive and lead the financial future of
Dubai.”
