Career

Al-Dabbagh Group

Since 1991, Al-Dabbagh has served as chairman and CEO of Al-Dabbagh Group (ADG). The business is a family conglomerate founded in 1962 by his father, Abdullah Mohammed Ali Al-Dabbagh, the former Minister of Agriculture of Saudi Arabia.

20x20 Effort

In 2014 Al-Dabbagh announced one of his key initiatives as CEO, the "20x20" effort. This initiative seeks to position Al-Dabbagh Group among the top 20 wholly owned family businesses in the world by 2020.[1]

Club 32 Initiative

As steward of the family heritage, Al-Dabbagh leads the "Club 32" initiative, created to empower the 32 members of the Al-Dabbagh family's third generation, including his own five children, to become global leaders. The initiative will endow Club 32 members with the skills and traits needed to become responsible stakeholders and responsible global citizens.

SAGIA

Al-Dabbagh served two four-year terms in public service as Governor and Chairman of the Board of the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority (SAGIA), with the rank of Minister.

Accomplishments during his time at SAGIA included:

  • Launching the 10x10 initiative, a program designed to lead Saudi Arabia to a top ten global competitiveness ranking for its business environment by the year 2010.
  • An increase in Saudi Arabia's rankings in the World Bank's Ease of Doing Business Report from 67th in 2005 to 11th in 2010, out of 183 countries.[2]
  • An increase in the amount of Foreign Direct Investment (FDI) into Saudi Arabia. Between 2005 and 2010, the average annual FDI increased to $25 billion from an average of $478 million for the preceding 9-year period. According to the United Nations Conference on Trade and Development (UNCTAD), Saudi Arabia was one of the biggest recipients of FDI globally during this period. As a result, the Kingdom increased its FDI stock by 831%, from $20.5 billion in 2004 to $170 billion in 2010, which was nearly 40% of its GDP.[3][4]
  • Launching the Economic Cities Initiative in 2005, four greenfield urban construction projects designed to capture and retain domestic and foreign capital and to increase the Kingdom's goal of increasing urban development. This initiative was spun off into the Economic Cities Authority (ECA) in 2010.[5]

Philanthropy University

Al-Dabbagh created Philanthropy University, an initiative based in Oakland, California. Philanthropy University, launched on 1 September 2015, offers Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) to Global South non-profit leaders.[6]

The initiative was created with the collaboration of Laura Tyson, director of the Institute for Business and Social Impact at the Haas School. It attracted 200,000 registrants in its first month and has received news coverage from The New York Times and the Chronicle of Philanthropy.[7]

Philanthropy University has a stated goal of measurably improving the capacity of 5,000 civil society organizations by 2020 by offering free online courses, vibrant communities of practice and access to capital opportunities. [6]

He has previously served as Chairman of the Jeddah Marketing Board.

Corruption charges

{{Main article| 2017 Saudi Arabian purge}}

In November, 2017, Al-Dabbagh was detained as part of what was called a wide-ranging "anti-corruption" purge that also ensnared Saudi Princes Alwaleed bin Talal and Miteb bin Abdullah.[8][9] This was done on authority of Crown Prince Mohammad Bin Salman. Until December 20, 2018, there have been no specific charges against Amr, or any legal proceedings.

He was released without charge on January 23, 2019, after an undisclosed settlement with the government.
