Daniel Hajj Aboumrad proved his worth when his father-in-law brought him in to take over the controls at mobile giant América Móvil in 2000. Since then, CEO Aboumrad, who holds a degree in Business Administration from the Universidad Anáhuac, has not looked back. He has been the mastermind behind the group’s licence acquisitions and helped expand into South America to create the globe’s fourth-largest mobile operator. The highly-perceptive CEO immediately grasped the existing gap in the market and made lower income customers his primary targets, which brought in more than 170 million new subscribers to the services.
