The leaders in Kuwait have always been essential in the nation's economic development, especially during the private sector. However, although oil has taken the central place in Kuwait's economy over the years, corporate leaders have acted as key catalysts that diversify the economy through innovation and driving growth, especially in industries such as finance, real estate construction, and telecommunication industries. Such leaders are essential because they helped develop Kuwait to become a business hub of the region, with opportunities for entrepreneurship and foreign direct investment. These leaders have played critical roles in modernizing infrastructure and developing non-oil sectors. Strategic investments through partnerships and leadership have enhanced the dynamic private sector, of which the non-oil private sector contributes highly to GDP.
