The team at the Royal office of HH Sheikh Ahmed Bin Faisal Al Qassimi would like to thank Leaders Without Borders for their excellent efforts in organising such a great event.”

We feel blessed to be here with all our Royal Office team, dignitaries, and the whole Ethos Team especially Carlos Santos, President, and CEO of Ethos for sharing and supporting our views for a better Africa. We look forward in working closely with this great team of forward thinkers.
Our core ethos and involvement in Africa centres around mutually beneficial projects and this means we will only take on projects that make business sense, but more importantly will make a difference to the lives of the people in those countries. Our core policy is one of poverty reduction.
In 2021 our Private Office of H.H. Sheikh Ahmed Bin Al Qassimi realigned its investment strategy and focus to include Africa and structure direct investments with its partners into African Government infrastructure projects and private developments, worth tens of billions of dollars. The Royal Private Office is putting key emphasis on projects that will have a transformational and social impact in line with individual African countries’ growth strategies and vision.”

It came as no surprise when during the closing ceremony Dr. Hillary and the Royal Family office Awarded Ethos with the top prize, chosen from the many others who were present at the summit.

I want to state categorically that the Africa Dubai Global Honours is a symbol of appreciation to those individuals, corporate organizations, companies that have dedicated their time, energy, finances and focus on creating and enabling environment for development, trade and investment opportunities for Africa.
We all know that Africa has all the potential of being the super economy of the World but unfortunately Africa as a Continent has not been able to fully utilize this potential.
Very few companies like Ethos Asset Management Inc., have truly demonstrated shared commitment and will to support the growth of Africa by providing those financial services needed to help drive the economic growth of the Continent.
Carlos Santos has won this Award today because of his ingenuity and commitment to the Continent. Ethos Asset Management Inc., topped the rankings for Asset Management companies driving economic growth for Africans.
Ethos Asset Management Inc., has demonstrated shared commitment to Africa and they have been doing this quietly for many years now.
The Award is truly deserving and we at the Leaders Without Borders Development Centre want to encourage Mr Carlos Santos and the Ethos family for such extraordinary endeavours and will also want to ask that they keep up with the great work that they are doing.”
