    This year, Forbes Middle East shared a list called “Top 100 Executives In The Arab World.” Among these executives are 14 Lebanese nationals! Forbes ME followed a specific methodology to create this list. A questionnaire was sent to the companies that were included in the

    Forbes Global 2000

    ; a list that comprises the world’s top companies. The CEOs were ranked based on four criteria: the rank of the company on the Forbes Global 2000 list, the number of employees, the number of countries that the CEO is responsible for, and the experience of the executive. Lebanon is topping the list!
