"
In a taxi making its way through Kuwait City on the way to meet Bader Nasser Al Kharafi, my driver looks suitably impressed when I give him the office address, and chats animatedly about the high regard in which the renowned businessman is held.
As one of the most powerful men in Kuwait and a major player in one of the country’s most influential families, this is hardly surprising. Al Kharafi seems to have taken on an almost mythical status; the taxi driver cryptically refers to the fact that the businessman has a reputation for never sleeping because of the many different business hats he wears and the range of company boards he sits on each day.
Al Kharafi holds several high-profile roles within the family business, but across Kuwait itself he is also general manager of investment firm Al Khair National for Stocks and Real Estate Company, the vice chairman of media, advertising and exhibition firm UNIEXPO and is on the board of local giants such as Zain and Coca-Cola’s subsidiary in Kuwait and Iraq."
