Hi Tom and Jeffrey.
A friend of mine, Badr Jafar, set up this thing called the Pearl Initiative.
http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Pearl_Initiative
He's basically working on trying to set up best practices to not let companies
get messed up when they are being handed down to heirs in Arab families. As part
of this, he's focusing on fighting corruption and increasing transparency. It's
based in the UAE.
Any chance you guys would be interested in talking to him or know anyone who
would be a good consultant or academic for them?
