Wadih Kuri said today \u201cour philosophy and culture has always been to consider that every one of our employees is a leader in their own right. They each and every one work hard and committedly, and all are respected equally; and I personally recognize, and always appreciate, their dedication.<\/p>\n
The purpose of this announcement is really to allow others to be aware of those who we have been fortunate enough to win the loyalty of over the past years, and who happen to be very qualified for the overall lead positions in the company.<\/p>\n
And we have made some relatively recent expansion in the top positions, as is required and necessary for a rapidly growing, world-class company, with all the needs and expectations that that responsibility entails.<\/p>\n
So, I am pleased to more publicly recognize our senior management team, as follows; thank you, and my sincere thanks to them, but also to all our loyal staff not mentioned below:\u201d<\/p>\n
