Making Money Rain for Your Business

Hussain al Nowais, the Emirates Holdings managing director and chairman, enjoys taking challenges, such as making dying companies live and soar high in the world of business. It will be such an honor to know the success story behind this amazing UAE Businessman.

Hussain al Nowais grew up facing so many trials, which molded him to become the man that he is right now.

When Hussain al Nowais was still young, he and his siblings saw the struggles of their parents. And now, they are already enjoying the good things that they have earned.

According to him, purified drinking water was a luxurious kind of water for them while only a few can afford to have an air conditioner. Abu Dhabi, as Hussain al Nowais described, can be compared to a village with no people. Years ago, their family stayed in an area of Corniche, and the town’s centre was Al Husn.

Since the education in Abu Dhabi before was not that high, Al Nowais traveled to Qatar to be able to get into a school.This did not only happen to him but to many people before, considering as a norm.

Al Nowais’ family only returned to Abu Dhabi, along with other families, when Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan became the president of UAE. The grandfather of Al Nowais, who was once a pearl merchant, worked his way and became a building material and foodstuff trader. The business was good, making their family have a trade organisation.

Al Nowais went to the U.S. to study after he got his high school diploma from a school in Abu Dhabi.

After finishing a business administration course in the U.S., he was totally filled with wisdom and might, which gave him the courage to go back home in order to practice what he has learned. It was no surprise that when Al Nowais was 22 years old, he was already one famous and successful person who can communicate well to foreign businessmen all over the world.

Along with his dedication, intelligence, luck, and commitment, he was able to evolve their family business into a well-known contracting, trading, distributing, and manufacturing company, which is not limited in UAE. He even recalled how we build everything almost from nothing.

When his career was still on the state of growing, he was given a chance to supply equipment for electrical use for a department in the government.

He earned his success through acquiring skills and knowledge and continuously improving them along the way.

During the Gulf War, Al Nowais saw their food business as something that would succeed because it is needed. His brilliance even made him acquire some businesses that are dying, wherein he restructured them and made them earn a lot once again.

And up to this day, he is still showing and sharing his excellence, such as having Federal Foods.
