Power 25 2022: Mohsen Ahmad, CEO of Logistics District, Dubai South, Ranks 13

Mohsen Ahmad oversees Dubai South’s Logistics District. Having set up its free zone and established the Dubai Logistics Corridor, which connects Jebel Ali Port with Al Maktoum International Airport via a single, custom-bonded zone, he leads the overall execution of the district’s operations, manages its financial planning, and is responsible for setting its strategic directions and goals.

He also played a key role in launching EZDubai, Dubai South’s dedicated ecommerce zone that was developed in response to the rapid regional growth of e-commerce and to complement the e-commerce strategy he helped launch.

He was also instrumental in laying the groundwork for future developments toward ensuring the Logistics District’s sustainable growth. He did so by attracting local, regional and international players to diversify the emirate’s economy and boost the logistics and e-commerce sectors across Dubai, in line with government strategies.

Mohsen had set his sights early on a career in supply chain and logistics, where he sought and earned a bachelor’s degree in logistics and transportation from the University of Tennessee, USA, following it with a Master of Science in logistics and supply chain management from Cranfield University School of Management in the UK.
