CIO Times names Alan Talib among 10 Visionary Leaders to Watch in 2026
In January 2026 CIO Times put Alan Talib, CEO and Founder of NordGulf Alliance, on its cover as one of 10 Visionary Leaders to Watch in 2026, in a feature on bridging Nordic and Gulf markets through trust and long-term partnership.
Alan's response
Grateful to CIO Times for the feature. The work we do at NordGulf Alliance is really about the partnerships we build — this just reminds me how fortunate I am to work with such talented people across both regions.
Thank you, Namrata Singh, and thank you to CIO Times for the feature and the conversation behind it. I appreciate the thoughtful approach and the space given to discuss leadership, trust, and long term perspective.
The feature covers Alan's work connecting Nordic and European companies with Gulf capital, governments and markets, and the role trust plays on both sides of that corridor.
