“Nafel Al Hathal’s career as an investor and business turnaround specialist has provided him with a diverse set of challenges to meet and to overcome. Dealing with loss-making investments, cleaning up after executive fraud, and managing tough bosses (and clients), have helped him develop a management style that is clear and focused, eliminating all the grey areas that can creep into corporate organizations. Creating a no-nonsense, black-and-white business environment enables top executives to delegate to managers without any ambiguity, increasing his own efficiency as a leader. Mr. Al Hathal gained his early career experience in the public sector working for Kuwait’s Social Security department and later the Kuwait Investment Authority. He joined the Kuwait Investment Office (KIO) in London in 1989, where he spent six years managing international private equity assets that belonged to the state.”
