QNB Group Chief Executive Officer Abdulla Mubarak al-Khalifa has shared QNB’s vision and corporate strategy before the students of Carnegie Mellon University-Qatar (CMU-Q).
CMU-Q and QNB formalised their partnership through a memorandum of understanding in 2018. Since then, QNB has provided scholarships for Qatari students at CMU-Q, hired many CMU-Q graduates, and provided the prizes for several academic competitions hosted by CMU-Q.
The question and answer session was moderated by Abdulrahman Darwish Fakhroo, a graduating senior in the business administration programme at CMU-Q.
“I am pleased to speak to the CMU-Q community, especially the students who are learning about Qatar’s financial sector, and share how corporate vision can shape corporate strategy. I hope that these future business leaders will be inspired to think big and chart the course to success,” al-Khalifa said at the recently held Dean's Lecture series.
Welcoming the QNB official, CMU-Q Dean Michael Trick said, "As a leader in the banking sector in the Middle East, he has a unique view of how Qatar’s financial sector has grown and matured over the last few decades. Our students, particularly those studying business administration, can learn from al-Khalifa’s experience and wisdom.”
The Dean's lecture series at CMU-Q provides a platform for thought leaders and industry experts to share their knowledge and expertise with the university community and the public. It is part of CMU-Q's ongoing commitment to fostering dialogue and inspiring progress and innovation in Qatar and the region.
