Executive Education Programmes
Bringing the best curated programmes from top Ivy League universities to develop the capacities of the tomorrow’s leaders.
Since 2021, First Abu Dhabi Bank has taken leadership development to a new level with the introduction of its Executive Education programme. Open to executives across the MENA region, the FAB programme pairs promising regional talent with the best global learning institutions to transform multiple sectors from within.
Noora Al Reyasi, Head of Learning and Talent Development, Organisational Development Culture and Emiratisation at FAB, said this carefully crafted initiative empowers the region’s human capital, enabling them to lead transformative growth and build a future-ready knowledge economy. FAB’s Executive Education modules provide leaders with transformative opportunities to upskill, expand their knowledge and influence future capabilities.
The courses provide strategic, contemporary insights and skills for diverse industries.


“At FAB, we recognise that human capital will be a driving force of future growth in UAE by playing a crucial role in building a knowledge economy that is competitive, future-focused, and resilient. We developed the FAB Executive Education programme with this objective in mind, offering bespoke learning opportunities and courses to enable senior leaders to elevate their knowledge and build future capabilities to deliver impactful outcomes. As a result of this FAB initiative, participants from across the entire business ecosystem are now pushing the frontiers of knowledge to advance the UAE’s economic and transformative development.”
