What a humble and grounded man despite his leadership!"},"content":{"rendered":"\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"627\" height=\"181\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/FinalAnthonySamrani.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-34531\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/FinalAnthonySamrani.jpg 627w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2026\/07\/FinalAnthonySamrani-300x87.jpg 300w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 709px) 85vw, (max-width: 909px) 67vw, (max-width: 984px) 61vw, (max-width: 1362px) 45vw, 600px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>This is the first time that Bambi has heard of and listened to Mr. Rodolphe Saad\u00e9. Of course, she continuously reads or hears about his<strong> <span style=\"text-decoration: underline;\">impressive<\/span><\/strong> family company CMA CGM, the third-largest container shipping company in the world (<a href=\"https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/3eapf237\">https:\/\/tinyurl.com\/3eapf237<\/a>). <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Of note, CMA CGM started by Mr. Saad\u00e9&#8217;s dad with 4 ships only. Today, it is a worldwide, and apparently environmentally friendly, maritime empire with talented teams in different countries. If Bambi recalls well from the interview, CMA CGM currently owns 700+ ships, terminals, and other assets in the world&#8217;s ports. Clearly, it is being lead with both intelligence and devotion. One must also keep in mind that this company operates in highly challenging current maritime conditions, including the dangerous middle east. May its staff be all safe and sound. Same for the staff working for its competitors.      <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The French interview, shared below, is sub-titled in English, thanks to L&#8217;Orient Le Jour. What an inspiring, and uplifting, conversation between the most talented Mr. Anthony Samrani and this highly skilled Franco-Lebanese (+ international) entrepreneur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Indeed, as an international leader, Mr. Saad\u00e9 seems to be both brilliant and grounded. Being talented while remaining humble is a refreshing combination in the business world. What a piece of positive news not just for his company, but also for the future of his beloved birth country, Lebanon, with his strategically diverse business investment plan (in other sectors).<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Best wishes to Mr. Saad\u00e9&#8217;s CMA CGM for its continuous worldwide successes. As for Mr. Samrani, may he keep up his great journalistic work!<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Rodolphe Saad\u00e9 : son empire, le Liban, les crises\u2026 Il se livre sans filtre\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/aJYpno8AYaw?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-embed is-type-video is-provider-youtube wp-block-embed-youtube wp-embed-aspect-16-9 wp-has-aspect-ratio\"><div class=\"wp-block-embed__wrapper\">\n<iframe title=\"Sacha Distel - Le Bateau Blanc\" width=\"840\" height=\"473\" src=\"https:\/\/www.youtube.com\/embed\/I1vlbHVdeVU?feature=oembed\" frameborder=\"0\" allow=\"accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture; web-share\" referrerpolicy=\"strict-origin-when-cross-origin\" allowfullscreen><\/iframe>\n<\/div><\/figure>\n\n\n<div class=\"wp-block-image\">\n<figure class=\"aligncenter size-full\"><img decoding=\"async\" width=\"300\" height=\"300\" src=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/heart-2.jpg\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-29990\" srcset=\"https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/heart-2.jpg 300w, https:\/\/bambisafkar.ca\/wp-content\/uploads\/2024\/08\/heart-2-150x150.jpg 150w\" sizes=\"(max-width: 300px) 85vw, 300px\" \/><\/figure>\n<\/div>","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>This is the first time that Bambi has heard of and listened to Mr. Rodolphe Saad\u00e9.
