Al Maha Petroleum Products Marketing Company successfully organized the inaugural edition of its thought leadership platform, “Thinking Aloud – The Al Maha Thought Series,” on April 7, 2026, at the Intercity Hotel in Muscat, bringing together a distinguished group of CEOs, senior executives, government representatives, and professionals from across various sectors.
Held under the theme “Beyond Ambition. The Mindset for Growth,” the forum served as a dynamic platform for dialogue and knowledge exchange on modern leadership, resilience, and sustaining growth in an increasingly complex and competitive business environment.
The sessions featured engaging discussions and real-life leadership experiences, where speakers shared key milestones from their professional journeys, along with the challenges they faced and the lessons they learned, offering practical and inspiring insights to attendees.
Commenting on the initiative, Eng. Hamed Al Maghdri, CEO of Al Maha Petroleum, emphasized that organizing this forum reflects the company’s commitment to supporting leadership development and fostering meaningful dialogue within Oman’s business community.
He stated: “Thinking Aloud is built on the idea of creating a space where leaders can openly share their real experiences — not only their achievements, but also the challenges that shaped their journey. In today’s rapidly evolving business environment, ambition alone is not enough; sustainable success requires discipline, resilience, and long-term strategic thinking.”
The forum aligns with the objectives of Oman Vision 2040 by contributing to the development of future-ready leaders and promoting collaboration and knowledge exchange across sectors.
Al Maha Petroleum confirmed that “The Al Maha Thought Series” is envisioned as an ongoing platform for leadership dialogue, with future editions planned to continue bringing together influential voices to support sustainable growth and strengthen the business ecosystem in the Sultanate.
