Dubai, UAE: Majida Ali Rashid, Assistant Director General of Dubai Land Department (DLD) and Head of the Investment Management and Promotion Centre, the department's investment arm, has been selected as Female CEO of the Year at this year's CEO Middle East Awards.

"I would like to extend my deep thanks to His Excellency the Director-General of DLD and to all my colleagues for supporting me in my duties.

"We are delighted to extend our congratulations to Mrs. Majida on receiving this prestigious award. It is an honour that is a worthy reflection of her dedication to the Investment Management and Promotion Centre and to DLD in general, which she works tirelessly for in her role as Assistant Director General," said HE Sultan Butti Bin Mejren, Director General of Dubai Land Department "This award is a tribute to all our staff and acknowledges the successes and achievements of the DLD team so far. We are looking forward to redoubling our efforts to maintain our leadership of Dubai's dynamic property sector," he added.
Majida impressed the CEO Middle East Awards judges with her commitment to exploring opportunities for the Investment Management and Promotion Centre and for launching schemes that have contributed to attracting global investment to Dubai's real estate sector. Her efforts in ensuring transparency and her market monitoring and follow-up policies have helped create an investment environment that is safe for all parties.
Majida received her Female CEO of the Year award from Karam Awwad, Managing Director of ITP Group, at a grand ceremony held by ITP, the organiser of the CEO Middle East Awards. The event, which is in its eighth season, was held on the evening of September 10 at Jumeirah Emirates Towers and was attended by a large number of senior officials and executives from government bodies and private sector organisations.
