Romain Gerardin-Fresse awarded 'Most Valuable CEO of the Year' award at Golden Three Awards in Dubai

In a dazzling event that brought the Who's-Who to Earth, Romain Gerardin-Fresse clinched the prestigious 'Most Valuable CEO of the Year' award at the Golden Three Awards 2023 at a glittering ceremony held in Dubai recently.  

The Golden Three Awards 2023, graced by government VIPs and corporate moguls from diverse sectors like real estate, crypto, and finance, was a fitting backdrop for Romain's moment of glory. His achievement here is not just a personal triumph but a beacon of inspiration, showcasing his unparalleled ability to navigate and shape the legal landscape in the region.

The committee, which presented him with the ‘Most Valuable CEO of the year award’ award, was keen to point out that his "leadership skills and strategic vision made him as a standout CEO in the business landscape."

Romain Gerardin-Fresse founded originally in 2017 a firm in France that shattered traditional standards, offering a global solution that combined law, strategy, financial management, and crisis management. This bold move paid off, propelling the firm's expansion into the UK, New York, Dubai, and Singapore, solidifying their position as leaders in crisis management during the COVID-19 pandemic.

Beyond traditional legal consultancy, the firm evolved to manage sports and acting careers, becoming a multifunctional tool for clients' daily challenges. Romain's commitment to providing holistic support transformed his firm into a dynamic force in the industry.

A resident of the Emirates for several years, he moved there permanently in 2023 and relocated a significant part of his consultancy business there.

A fervent defender and promoter of the Emirates, he helps to raise their profile by highlighting their assets in an educational way to industrialists and entrepreneurs who have shown an attraction for the GCC.

Asked during the evening what drives him in his profession, the lawyer said that he finds joy in solving complex problems, describing it as mental gymnastics of strategic planning. The pleasure he derives from supporting and adapting projects to local obligations and macroeconomic analyses is a driving force in his efforts. Intelligence, he believes, lies in the art of adaptation and finding the best strategic mix for successful market penetration.

Speaking highly about why he finds UAE having huge potential for the entrepreneurs like him he elaborates: “The visionary leadership of this country has taken many steps to transform the UAE into a global business hub and I would like to thank them for granting me a Residency Visa. Steps like allowing 100% foreign-owned businesses, offering extended visas for entrepreneurs, providing funding and support for smaller businesses, and aiming to attract international businesses to the region, have led entrepreneurs like me to explore the UAE market.”

Romain will be inaugurating SPARROW AND PARTNERS Legal Consultancy in a few days' time, and is planning to open a new firm in Abu Dhabi in 2024.
