Welcome to MILE

I would like to welcome you to the Madinah Institute for Leadership and Entrepreneurship (MILE). MILE offers an exciting opportunity for senior high performance individuals to take their leadership skills to a global level

Realizing the leadership deficit challenge that organizations in our region suffer from, MILE aims at filling the gap of absence of local quality, relevant and affordable executive education. MILE is a non-profit institution that aims at building leadership and entrepreneurial excellence in the Arab and Muslim world. MILE was initiated as one of Savola Group’s Corporate Social Responsibility programs; however, it grew to be a collaborative initiative that attracted the contributions and support of many companies, academic institutions, research & consulting organizations and professional groups.

MILE is located at Madinah Knowledge Economic City, right at the heart of the Muslim and Arab world, a city of peace and serenity and the cradle of human civilization. Participation in MILE’s programs provide a unique opportunity to have a firsthand exposure to Saudi Arabia’s emerging and growing economy, Middle Eastern culture and Islamic values, and successful regional entrepreneurs and business professionals.

MILE aspires to become among the world’s top 100 executive education institutions by 2020. MILE plans to achieve its vision through building an effective collaboration with all stakeholders, leveraging information technology, offering relevant holistic life-long developmental services, ensuring sustainability and continuous development of intellectual capital, and striving to become a role model in applying the most advanced and ethical management practices.

MILE is open to explore all forms of collaboration to achieve its mission of building the leaders of the future and open channel for sharing knowledge and experiences.

Yours faithfully,

Mohamed Moustafa Mahmoud, PhD
