I believe we have met before in New York through mutual friends. Would be a pleasure to meet up when you're in the UAE next - please do let me know when you have tentative visit dates. As for my visits to the US, I am likely to be in Washington for a few days mid-Feb, and possibly New York in March or April. Where are you based? In the meantime, attaching a brief description of one of the organisations I founded (Pearl Initiative - www.pearlinitiative.org) to deal with the timebomb we face in our Region related to a lack of corporate governance in family businesses (which make up over 90% of all non-oil GDP in the Middle East and North Africa). Best wishes, Badr P.S. My bio also attached. Original Message From: Joi Ito [mailto Sent: 28 January 2014 02:54 To: Tom Pritzker; Epstein Jeffrey; Bath- Jafar Subject: introduction Hi Badr, I wanted to introduce you two the two people who probably have more experience than anyone I know about the issues that you discussed with me around the family businesses in the Arab world. Tom said that he'd be happy to talk to you about some of the things that he learned when restructuring his family business. Also, Jeffrey Epstein is an expert and has done this for many people and is experienced and well connected in your region. - Joi The information contained in this communication is intended solely for the use of the individual or entity to whom it is addressed and others authorized to receive it.
