POSITIVE THINKING

摘要

Despite the current challenges and significant uncertainties in the market, Mohammed Sharaf, the ceo of DP World, is positive. 'It is all in the attitude,' he said. 'Yes, I see there are challenges in Europe but containerisation and the ports/ terminals operating business are growth industries. I see real opportunities for us.' Sharaf, who said that the best decision in his working life was joining Dubai Ports Authority [in 1992], has led the successor group DP World as its ceo since its creation in 2005. He has presided over an organisation that has expanded quickly, both through acquisitions and organically. However, there has been an element of frustration at management level over the progress in the company's share price. DP World was floated on the Dubai Nasdaq exchange in late November 2007 and secured a second listing in London in June 2011.
