CEO Clubs Network successfully hosted its Members Lunch Meeting at the elegant Albert Ballroom, SLS Dubai, under the insightful theme: 
“The Smart Approach to Real Estate and Health Optimization.” The event welcomed CEO Clubs valued members, along with a distinguished Lithuanian delegation, which included representatives from the Embassy of Lithuania, the Lithuanian Chamber of Commerce, and respected business leaders and investors from various sectors.

This gathering fostered a vibrant environment of executive networking, global dialogue, and cross-sector collaboration, reinforcing CEO Clubs Network’s mission to connect leaders, build trust, and facilitate purposeful partnerships across industries and borders.

Opening Remarks
The meeting commenced with a warm welcome by Dr. Tariq Ahmed Nizami, Founder & CEO of CEO Clubs Network, who emphasized the importance of aligning smart business practices with health and leadership resilience. He highlighted the power of international engagement and cross-border insight in driving sustainable executive growth, while also personally welcoming the Lithuanian guests.

Speaker Introductions
Ms. Sarra Dong, Managing Partner of CEO Clubs Network, introduced the featured speakers with professionalism and enthusiasm. Her remarks underscored the event's core purpose: to bring CEOs and decision-makers together not only to network, but to learn from one another, challenge conventional thinking, and explore how business excellence can evolve through shared expertise.

Featured Speaker: Mr. Riccardo Gioè
Mr. Riccardo Gioè, Founder of Corsa Real Estate, delivered a powerful session titled: “The Best Areas in Dubai in 2025 for Real Estate Investment.” Specializing in off-plan properties and luxury villas, Mr. Gioè provided a comprehensive analysis of Dubai’s most lucrative investment areas—including Downtown, Meydan, and Dubai Hills—while also contextualizing them within the Dubai 2040 Urban Master Plan. 
He shared practical guidance on evaluating projects based on capital appreciation, return on investment, and market timing. Drawing from his work with leading developers, designers, and investors, Riccardo emphasized how real estate in Dubai continues to be a strategic and lifestyle-aligned asset class for global investors.

Featured Speaker: Mr. Sami Malia
Mr. Sami Malia, Founder of Hupe Ltd, inspired the audience with his keynote: “Demystifying Health Optimization.”

Bringing over 25 years of international experience as a CEO, COO, and CFO, Mr. Malia shared a deeply personal and professional perspective on the challenges executives face in maintaining well-being and high performance. He explored the flaws of the one-size-fits-all wellness model and introduced the mission behind Hupe: to empower leaders with customized, science-backed strategies that enhance energy, clarity, and resilience. Drawing from his diverse career—from private equity to oil rigs, from London to Mexico—Sami’s practical tools and wellness frameworks were both relatable and actionable for today’s business leaders. 

 Diplomatic & International Engagement

Following the lunch, CEO Clubs Network had the pleasure of hosting the Lithuanian delegation for a dedicated coffee, tea, and canapé session. This warm and informal setting allowed for deeper discussions on UAE–Baltic economic cooperation, investment opportunities, and the strengthening of business and diplomatic ties. 

 Networking & Closing The event concluded with a lively networking session, where members and guests exchanged business cards, shared ideas, and explored potential collaborations in a relaxed and refined environment true to the spirit of CEO Clubs Network.
