A big day for business today as I got to visit Maersk Oil.
Sheikh Faisal, who has known the Murphy’s for years and came to our
Thanksgiving dinner, also knows my father and was kind enough to let me visit
him at his office.
Sheikh Faisal is a very busy man but he took some time to
talk to me about what he does. One important aspect of his job is developing
and managing programs which support nationals in the work force, known as
“Qatarization.” He also introduced me to a colleague of his, also named Faisal,
who works on corporate marketing and media management.
I got to talk to Faisal about marketing in the Middle East as well as the regional and local economies. I also mentioned that I was interested in their Qatarization efforts, which led him to suggest there was someone who he thought would like to meet me. But that bit comes later…
