Tasked with enhancing commodity trade flows through Dubai, DMCC has introduced to the market a number of value-added products and services under Mr Bin Sulayem’s leadership. In 2023, DMCC has been named the ‘Global Free Zone of the Year’ by The Financial Times fDi Magazine, for a record ninth consecutive year.
Mr Bin Sulayem oversaw the exponential growth of the DMCC Free Zone master development in Jumeirah Lakes Towers (JLT), a 200-hectare business and residential community in Dubai of over 100,000 people living and working across 87 towers. Mr Bin Sulayem also oversees the development of DMCC’s latest real estate project; the much-anticipated Uptown Dubai district.
Mr Bin Sulayem currently serves as the Chairman of the Dubai Diamond Exchange (DDE) and the Dubai Gold & Commodities Exchange (DGCX).
The Kimberley Process officially appointed the United Arab Emirates (UAE) as the first and only Arab country to Chair the Kimberley Process in November 2015. Shortly after, the UAE Ministry of Economy officially appointed Mr Bin Sulayem as the UAE’s Chair of the Kimberley Process for 2016.

Giuseppe Esposito was born on August 12, 1973, in Naples, Italy. My upbringing was heavily influenced by my hardworking father, who served as a role model. Academic pursuits were never my forte, and I began working at the age of 16, managing one of Napoli’s largest bars.
My modest academic performance stemmed from my inclination towards hands-on work over textbooks, reflecting my entrepreneurial spirit. However, I recognize the evolving importance of education in today’s world.
I’ve been fortunate to contribute to our family business, EP, witnessing its growth and my personal development. Some noteworthy achievements and challenges include:
These milestones reflect a journey of growth, marked by both successes and setbacks, which have molded me into a better individual and entrepreneur. I eagerly anticipate the future, embracing it with an open mind and a commitment to learning from every experience.
