Chairman and CEO Fouad El Hibri insists that good business opportunities
often arise in time of crisis, which he considers the best time for
entrepreneurs to invest in new projects. “When the market is down, I
believe that good opportunities arise and investors have better chances
to find assets that are undervalued and able to provide wonderful
returns in the future,” Hibri told The Daily Star.
“I see within any turmoil great opportunities,” he said.
Hibri, an American entrepreneur with Lebanese heritage, is the winner of
Ernst & Young Entrepreneur of the Year 2009 Award in the Technology
category in greater Washington. With great persistence and commitment,
Hibri was able to successfully grow a pharmaceutical biotech facility
that is worth hundreds of millions of dollars and was previously owned
and run by the state of Michigan.

vegetarian meal). Check out ExecutiveBiz’s exclusive photo of the two
