Mashreq’s Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair is the bankers’ banker | The National:

It is a lesson in business skill to watch Abdul Aziz Al Ghurair “work” a room of guests. He was at it last week with a gathering of journalists at a media roundtable, and again yesterday at a bankers’ breakfast meeting organised by Mashreqbank, of which he is chairman.

With the media, he was accessible, informative and ready with a quip or personal aside to illustrate an important point about the banking industry.

With the bankers he was rather more serious, and painstaking in his networking approach. By the end of the session in the Dubai International Financial Centre, he must have shaken the hand of almost every one of the 150 or so people present."
