BPUR International is proud to welcome Former Lebanese Prime Minister Hassan Diab to our Advisory council, and we are looking forward to his leading contributions to promote our initiative and boost our momentum worldwide.
Professor Diab is a Lebanese academic, professor, engineer, executive, and politician with over 33 years in academia including almost 20 years in executive roles leading organizations across government, academic, and non-profit sectors.
He served as the 26th President of the Council of Ministers of Lebanon and was the first Prime Minister in the history of the MENA region to form a cabinet with 30% female ministers.
Professor Hassan Diab took on a Herculean task by serving as PM (19 Dec 2019 – 10 Sept 2021) during the worst crisis period in Lebanese history and managed to pass many decrees and laws on anti-corruption.
His technocrat cabinet, an exception in Lebanese politics and the closest to the specification of a technocrat cabinet in the history of Lebanon, approved for the first time in forensic audit on the central bank as well as the first National Reform Plan. He strongly believes effective leadership means having moral authority rather than formal authority.
