Malek Al Malek Appointed Executive Director of Dubai Internet City

Abdullatif AlMulla, CEO of TECOM Investments, said: “Al Malek’s track record at DIC over the past six years makes him the right candidate to lead the ICT cluster.

The ICT cluster is committed to the success of its business partners and as always the focus will be on enhancing the standards of service delivery, introducing new product offerings to support the growth of their business and attracting new business to the cluster.”
Al Malek was earlier Director of Partner Relations at DIC, where he played a key role in building rapport with DIC’s diverse spectrum of business partners through developing and engaging them in business and social activities, while overlooking their dynamic business demands. Today, the state-of-art business park is regarded one of Dubai’s key success stories, and home to several Fortune 500 companies such as Sun Microsystems, Microsoft, Sony Ericsson, Cisco and Dell.
Accepting the new role, Al Malek said: “It is a privilege to be chosen for the challenging position to lead Dubai Internet City. I am grateful to the top management team at TECOM Investments for their trust in my competency to drive the growth of one of Dubai’s rapidly growing entities.

Joining DIC in 2002 as Partner Relations Manager, Al Malek’s diligence and excellent communications skills saw him rise up the corporate ladder as the division’s Director in 2005.
