Background

About Phil Labib

I have had the opportunity to work on projects that have been a first for some of the industries I have worked in, and for the Middle East region. Through such opportunities, I have gained solid experience in managing staff, clients, suppliers, dealing with government entities and Royalty. I began my professional career nearly 20 years ago as a Client Service Executive in a leading UAE-based advertising agency. A keen interest in production sparked a career change, as I used my dedication, work ethic and attention to detail to cement a position as key production team member on film and print shoots, two international feature films shot in the region, and a variety of prestigious live events, including the KAUST Inauguration Ceremony (2009), Ferrari World Abu Dhabi Grand Opening (2010), Dubai Shopping Festival Opening Ceremony (2011) and the International Renewable Energy Agency (IRENA) Opening Ceremony (2011). I was a core member of the production team delivering the Bu Tinah Dome, 2011 Eye On Earth Summit & Exhibition and The UNEP & Partners Pavilion at Rio+20, Rio De Janeiro. Notable Deliveries include: • 2015 -2017 Middle East Film & Comic Con • GAMES15 • Ani:ME 2016 • The District 2016 • 2015 Sikka Art Fair • Convocation 14 - Doha, Qatar • UNEP & Partners Pavillion UN Rio +20 Global Summit - Rio, Brazil • Eye On Earth Global Summit - Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. • Bu Tinah Experience Dome - Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. • King Abdullah University of Science and Technology (KAUST) Inauguration Ceremony – Saudi Arabia • American Express “Festival of Potential” – Melbourne, Australia • Ferrari World Abu Dhabi Opening Ceremony - Abu Dhabi, U.A.E. • Dubai Shopping Festival Opening Ceremony - Dubai, U.A.E. • ISO Global Conference - Dubai, U.A.E. • Universal Pictures feature film ‘The Kingdom’ - Abu Dhabi, U.A.E • Warner Brothers feature film ‘Syriana’ - Dubai, U.A.E.
