“Ali Al Zalzalah is something of a renaissance man, with personal interests that range from sports to politics to collecting rare gemstones. He is a Certified Valuation Analyst (CVA), and has earned a Certified Marketing Manager (CMM) designation from the Institute of Professional Managers. Even with all that, he somehow finds the time to study for his pilot’s license at Gulf University of Science and Technology. But his role as CEO at the publicly-traded Kuwait Bah-rain International Exchange Company (KBE) remains his primary focus, a job he has held for the last three years.”
