A global leader and change-maker, Sheikh Zayed bin Sultan Al Nahyan was a world-renowned humanitarian and conservationist who advocated respect, sustainability, education and female empowerment. Born in 1918 in Abu Dhabi, Sheikh Zayed travelled extensively throughout the country as a young man, gaining a deep understanding of the land and its people. Among his many local and international achievements, Sheikh Zayed was the main driving force behind the unification of the seven independent emirates to found the United Arab Emirates in 1971. Affectionately known as the ‘Father of the Nation’, he was unanimously elected by his fellow Rulers of the Emirates to become the first President of the UAE, a position he held for more than three decades. #leadership #uae #fatherofthenation #vision #abudhabi #middleeast #uaeserbiabusinessclub
