other companies in terms of strategies ,<br />
development. All of this results from the<br />
clear vision of the company leadership, its<br />
good view of the future and its ability to<br />
keep pace with the internal and external<br />
developments.<br />
Excellent business<br />
environment,<br />
ongoing learning and<br />
respect are the most<br />
important factors for<br />
the company success.<br />
Ana ARASCO: Staying out of office and<br />
career aspects, does Abdulaziz Aldharrab<br />
have any relation with reading?<br />
Aldharrab: I have a great relation with<br />
books and reading since I was young.<br />
Moreover, my mother encouraged me too<br />
much in this respect and always provided<br />
me with books and autobiographies,<br />
seeking to enrich my knowledge with<br />
bright spots of the Islamic and Arab<br />
history. Similar to my brothers, this had<br />
the most important impact on forming<br />
my personality since the early stages<br />
of my life. Now, I prefer to read book , s<br />
Summaries about business administration<br />
and leadership due to the limited time<br />
and the higher responsibilities. Recently,<br />
after my little daughter Sarah was born,<br />
I started to read too many books on<br />
child upbringing. On the other hand, I am<br />
addicted to following the latest economic<br />
and political news.<br />
Ana ARASCO: What about travelling?<br />
Aldharrab: I like travelling inside the<br />
KSA and abroad too in order to get<br />
familiarized about new countries and<br />
different cultures. I think it developed<br />
as a habit within me since my childhood.<br />
Tourism with family is approximately an<br />
annual itinerary.<br />
Ana ARASCO: Does social media occupy<br />
any space in your day?<br />
Aldharrab: My interests in social media<br />
can be described as limited compared<br />
to my relations with other fields. Using<br />
social media never reached addiction<br />
level except to reading news. I interacts<br />
with social media in a limited frame to know<br />
events taking place around me and to be<br />
knowledgeable of my surrounding world.<br />
Ana ARASCO: If you move back to the<br />
past, will you desire to change your<br />
scientific and career life?<br />
Aldharrab: Never, I am fully satisfied<br />
with my scientific and vocational options<br />
and am pleased with the humble success<br />
achieved so far. In addition, I always<br />
seek to accomplish what is more at the<br />
scientific and vocational levels.<br />
Ana ARASCO: After these years in<br />
ARASCO, does Eng. Abdulaziz Aldharrab<br />
have a career satisfaction?<br />
Aldharrab: Sure, I have full satisfaction<br />
for working in the company because it<br />
provides perfect working environment<br />
to me in all aspects, in addition to<br />
professional learning and development.<br />
Since its<br />
incorporation,<br />
ARASCO has had<br />
distinguished<br />
strategic direction<br />
Ana ARASCO: What is the most beautiful<br />
present in the life of Eng. Abdulaziz<br />
Aldharrab?<br />
Aldharrab: Without any doubts, my 3<br />
years old daughter Sarah is the most<br />
beautiful and dearest present from Allah<br />
(SWT) in my life, Alhamdolillah.<br />
Ana ARASCO: Where does sports stand<br />
in your interests list?<br />
Aldharrab: It is difficult to say I am<br />
sportsman currently at the actual<br />
practice level, but in the past, I used to<br />
play squash frequently. However, now I<br />
practice walking sport frequently with<br />
family and friends and sometimes I prefer<br />
to hold light meetings with friends when<br />
we practice walking sport.<br />
