Ziad Al-Murshed

Company: Saudi Aramco Revenue: US $ 445.7bn Founded: 1933

Ziad Al-Murshed keeps the books at the most profitable company the world has known. As Chief Financial Officer of Saudi Aramco since 2022, he steers a balance sheet that helps fund Saudi Arabia itself through state dividends. His 2026 is a study in managing the down slope. Softer oil prices pulled revenue lower in 2025, yet payouts to shareholders stay enormous. Ziad has also become Aramco’ s public voice on digital finance, a sign of its next move.
