Essa Kazim

Essa Kazim is the new chairman of DP World, a Dubai-based global logistics company. He replaces Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem, whose departure was prompted by scrutiny of his connections to the late convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein. Recent news reports detail bin Sulayem's exit and Kazim's subsequent appointment by the Dubai government. DP World, a significant player in global trade and logistics, is owned by the Dubai royal family. Kazim's appointment is relevant due to the company's global importance and the need to address concerns arising from the previous chairman's association with Epstein. His leadership will be crucial in maintaining DP World's reputation and navigating its future operations.
