Mohammad Al-Mady, Vice Chairman and CEO of the Saudi Basic Industries Corporation (SABIC), joined 100 of the world's most influential business leaders at the 16th annual Microsoft CEO Summit held recently in Seattle, The United States. Al-Mady's interactions with fellow CEOs helped to build professional and personal relations and deeper understandings of evolving needs in various industries including those to which SABIC provides its innovative chemicals and plastics materials solutions, according to a press release of SABIC. “When we connect with our peers, we understand the worldview on key issues related to technology and business and it helps us further develop our collaborations,” said Al-Mady. “It is in this context that the Microsoft CEO Summit provides global business leaders an opportunity to develop closer relationships and global insights to our toughest challenges through candid dialogue. This is consistent with SABIC's strategy of building strong and enduring partnerships across borders.”
