“The continued success of business is all about dreams,
about how ambitious you are”, muses Dr. Mann. This
is a sentiment, one can tell, that is indeed close to his
heart, as the ambition that he conveys is palpable. Dr.
Mann is, of course, cognizant that the United Arab
Emirates presents a uniquely advantageous crucible in
which to accomplish his goals;
Innovative thinking along these lines is what
distinguishes Dr. Mann from the average chief
executive of a construction materials company. He sees
the opportunity within his business framework and
is not afraid to enter the sphere and reinforce Mann
Group’s profitability from within, even if it may be in a
new area.

our projects.”
Dr. Mann embodies the new breed of entrepreneur
that balances burning ambition with a sophisticated
understanding of business processes and new thinking.
