Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem resigned from his position as Group Chairman and CEO of Dubai-based DP World on Friday, February 13, 2026. The resignation occurred amid increased scrutiny of his ties to Jeffrey Epstein, after bin Sulayem's name surfaced in recently released Epstein files. The files revealed correspondence between the two men, including discussions of business opportunities and women, even after Epstein's 2008 conviction. Bin Sulayem is credited with transforming DP World from a regional operator into a global logistics powerhouse owned by the government of Dubai. The company has appointed a new Group Chairman and CEO to replace bin Sulayem.
