Easa Al Gurg is a respected figure in the UAE’s business landscape, widely recognised for his dynamic

leadership as the group CEO of Easa Saleh Al Gurg Group (ESAG). Assuming this pivotal role in May 2021, Al Gurg has been instrumental in steering one of the region’s oldest and most respected family businesses towards continued growth and modernisation, building upon a legacy established by his grandfather, the late Easa Saleh Al Gurg.

Al Gurg’s vision for ESAG priori- tises expansion into new business sectors and markets, fostering innovation in customer engagement, promoting employee ownership, and enhancing market adaptability. This forward-thinking approach reflects a deep understanding of evolving global business dynamics and a commitment to sustaining ESAG’s relevance and competitiveness.

His journey within ESAG began in August 2010 as the general manager of Scientechnic, the group’s flagship engineering entity. This foundational experience provided him with comprehensive insight into the conglomer- ate’s diverse operations, from which he ascended to lead the entire group. This hands-on approach and understanding of various business components underscore his leadership philosophy, which advocates for continuous learning and adaptation.

Al Gurg extends his influence across the UAE’s economic landscape, holding board positions with the Dubai Chamber of Commerce and the National Bank of Fujairah (NBF). He also contributes to philanthropy as a board member of the Al Gurg Charity Foundation. Key to his leadership is empowering future leaders and fostering employee ownership within ESAG for enduring success
