Lebanese CEO Sees Opportunity in Current Crisis

Wednesday, October 14th, 2009

Daily Star

July 10, 2009

http://www.dailystar.com.lb/article.asp?edition_id=1&categ_id=3&article_id=104008

Chairman and CEO Fouad El Hibri insists that good business opportunities often arise in time of crisis, which he considers the best time for entrepreneurs to invest in new projects. “When the market is down, I believe that good opportunities arise and investors have better chances to find assets that are undervalued and able to provide wonderful returns in the future,” Hibri told The Daily Star.

“I see within any turmoil great opportunities,” he said.

Hibri, an American entrepreneur with Lebanese heritage, is the winner of Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2009 Award in the Technology category in greater Washington. With great persistence and commitment, Hibri was able to successfully grow a pharmaceutical biotech facility that is worth hundreds of millions of dollars and was previously owned and run by the state of Michigan.
