Gulf can profit from improved governance - The National

Badr Jafar is an advocate of the Pearl Initiative, which advances the cause 
of good corporate governance in the Arab world. Salah Malkawi for The National

"Watching Badr Jafar at the World Economic Forum for the Middle East in Jordan last month was an object lesson in the art of networking.

The Sharjah-born executive was shaking hands with important executives one minute, chatting with senior political figures the next and then heading off to speak at opinion-forming sessions at the WEF.

He spoke of entrepreneurship and youth employment, but also found time to get involved in the WEF's initiative to restart Israel-Palestinian Territories peace talks via the business community, as well as handle the inevitable media calls."
