Interview with Alain Bejjani, chief executive at Majid Al Futtaim: part 3 of 3

Keeping resilience central and not only thinking about business continuity is key, says Alain Bejjani, chief executive at Majid Al Futtaim. Firms must ensure their core is strong: “I would double down on people.”

Staying relevant to stakeholders is important, and Bejjani said his firm even helped suppliers create resilience.

“Resilience helps us think forward. Our biggest bet during the pandemic was to bet on people and investing to make our communities resilient.”
