<\/strong>Dr. Turki Faisal Al Rasheed<\/strong> DBA, EMBA, BAE<\/strong><\/h2>\n

Date of Birth: 1954<\/p>\n

Nationality: Saudi<\/p>\n

Businessman, currently the Chairman of Golden Grass, Inc., and TFIC. Director\/Founder of Saudi Voters Center and established Al Ulama Management & Agricultural Consultancy Services and Feasibility Studies for both private and government organizations. Successfully defended the doctoral research \u2018Agricultural Development Strategies: the Saudi Experience\u2019 without corrections, which is extremely rare, at Liverpool Business School, (LBS), Liverpool John Moores University (LJMU) earning a degree of Doctor in Business Administration (DBA). In view of that, LJMU offered a post of visiting professorship. Currently an Adjunct Professor at the University of Arizona, USA.<\/p>\n

Throughout my research journey, I had to understand theories that are necessary to an organization; and this helped me to understand how sustainability, stakeholder theory, and corporate social responsibility help an organization see what it should do, what it actually does, and the instruments required to achieve its goals. I have been invited to be a speaker at various conferences and gave lectures to reputable universities both locally and internationally.<\/p>\n

I chose to start my own business and not to work for anybody to create my own road.\u00a0 After returning from the USA with my newly born son, I created a company named Turki Faisal International Corporation (TFIC), established in 1981as a successful general trading business and maintenance \u00a0company in both private and government organizations.<\/p>\n

Golden Grass, Inc. is an agriculture and contracting company, established in 1982.\u00a0 Its business is diversified into farming, trading of agrochemicals, animal health, environmental health, recruitment, construction and maintenance.\u00a0 In 2006, Golden Grass, Inc. celebrated 25 years of successful business in Saudi Arabia.\u00a0 It showcases the achievements of being the top exporter of peanuts in the Middle East (Search Magazine 1995, 1996 &1997) and one of the top 100 companies in Saudi Arabia (Arab News and Al Eqtisadiah Newspaper 1995, 1999, 2000 & 2001).<\/p>\n

The Saudi Voters Center is a non-government and non-profit organization launched in 2004.\u00a0 It is the first bilingual website specializing in releasing, exploring and discussing all the latest issues regarding the Saudi elections. It achieved 4.0 million hits four months after launching (Arab News 17 Feb 2005).<\/p>\n

Saudi in Focus was launched in 2007; it is a daily electronic publication that delivers news and articles about all aspects of Saudi Arabia and the rest of the world. It currently receives an average of 7.0\u00a0 million hits per month.\u00a0 It highlights Saudi Arabia\u2019s role in regional and national economies, societies, and political debate.\u00a0 In addition, www.sauddiinfocus.com<\/a> publishes commentary by a range of journalists, scholars, and policy makers around the globe.<\/p>\n

Al Ulama Management and Agricultural Consulting Services was established to help and give consulting services to government and private organization projects in relation to agriculture in particular and how to enhance food security, alleviate poverty and promote economic growth in particular.<\/p>\n
