Congratulations to Juan Simón Arteaga, EMBA Riyadh Track, on receiving the HEC Foundation Executive Master Award.

His capstone project, “How Can a Modular Technical Solution Reduce Saudi Arabia's Natural Gas Flaring While Monetizing Wasted Resources,” offers an innovative approach that turns routine flaring into sustainable outcomes. By combining a modular, containerized gas engine with pool-mined computing, the concept transforms excess gas into controlled combustion and stable USD revenue, while supporting ESG goals aligned with Saudi Vision 2030. This is a strong example of how academic work, strategic thinking, and global perspective can create real impact beyond the classroom.

At HEC Paris, learning translates into meaningful contributions to organizations, communities, and the region.

We are proud of this well-deserved achievement.

"There comes a point when experience alone is not enough."
Meet Ali Hassan, a senior leader in IT and digital transformation with nearly two decades in the field. He reached a stage where stepping back became essential, to think more strategically, make stronger decisions, and shape direction with greater intention. Through the Executive MBA at HEC Paris, Doha, that shift took shape. The journey challenged his assumptions, broadened his perspective, and pushed him beyond familiar ways of thinking.
“The program became a mirror to myself.” It changed how he approaches leadership, moving from finding answers to asking better questions, from managing delivery to influencing long-term value. The HEC Paris Executive MBA is built for leaders ready to grow not only in what they do but also in how they think.
If you feel you are at a similar moment, this could be your next step.

Meet Ehsan Dbeissi, Engagement Manager at Mastercard and Executive MBA participant at HEC Paris, Doha. With a strong foundation in banking, payments, and consulting across the Middle East, he reached a point where going deeper into one field was no longer enough. He wanted to broaden his perspective and build a more global view of leadership. HEC Paris stood out for its focus on transformation and its diverse, collaborative environment. For Ehsan, this journey is about preparing for the next stage, leading at scale, driving innovation, and navigating complexity with greater clarity, all while balancing a demanding role and family life. What excites him most is learning alongside people from different industries and cultures, where new perspectives challenge his thinking and push him to grow.
