The decision came suddenly, yet it changed everything forever. What was once known as Nexus took on a new identity—Power Summit—a bold step that would redefine the future. It was not just a name change; it was a vision coming to life. Ali Al Ghanim had always been attuned to the shifting tides of business, and as he observed Saudi Arabia’s rapid transformation, he recognized an opportunity too significant to ignore. The pace of progress, the surge of economic growth, and the evolving business landscape all pointed in one direction—toward expansion, innovation, and dominance. And so, he acted. Power Summit became more than just a commercial entity; it became the foundation of an empire. Under its name, iPS Powerful People for Human Resource Services and iPS Powerful People for Contracting Services took shape in Saudi Arabia, while iPS Nexus Management Services found its home in Bahrain. Every move was calculated, every step taken with precision, all leading to a future driven by strategy and vision.
But Ali knew that growth was not just about structure—it was about mindset. He championed a culture where everyone operated with a commercial focus, aligned with a singular strategy, working toward one common goal. The integration of artificial intelligence became a cornerstone of this evolution, ensuring that the company didn’t just keep up with the times but stayed ahead of them.
With a relentless drive and an unshakable belief in progress, he orchestrated a transformation that reshaped everything—suddenly and forever.
Shaped by Legacy and Business Acumen
Ali Alghanim comes from a distinguished family known for its prominence both in the Eastern region and throughout the Kingdom. This strong family background has greatly influenced his deep connection to the community and helped him build extensive relationships in the business world. His close bond with his father ( Hussain Falah Alghanim), whom he considers a role model, has instilled in him resilience and self-reliance.
His father played a significant social role in the region, contributing to the establishment of the first charitable societies (Saihat Society for Social Services) and leading one of the sports clubs in the kingdom (Al Khaleej Club “Al Naser Club before”) 1963. Additionally, his remarkable 40-year tenure at Aramco 1948, filled with achievements, continues to serve as Ali’s greatest source of inspiration.
The Rise of Ali Al Ghanim’s Business Empire
The transformation was bold, unexpected, and ultimately, game-changing. What began in 2015 as a single entity called Nexus evolved into something far greater—Power Summit—a vision brought to life with relentless ambition. It was more than just a name change; it was the foundation of an empire.
Ali Al Ghanim recognized the rapid transformation taking place in Saudi Arabia—the surge of economic growth, the acceleration of development, and the shifting business landscape. Seeing an opportunity, he made a decisive move, creating Power Summit as an umbrella entity, positioning it at the center of this evolving market. Under its leadership, iPS Powerful People for Human Resource Services and iPS Powerful People for Contracting Services were established in Saudi Arabia, while iPS Nexus Management Services was founded in Bahrain.
These four entities formed the backbone of an ambitious and ever-growing business empire. Achieving this level of success within just six years was no small feat. The challenges were immense—especially in 2019, when the global pandemic disrupted industries worldwide. However, Ali’s unwavering belief in himself, his team, and the vision of Saudi Arabia’s leadership gave him the resilience to push forward. He cultivated a culture of trust and strategic networking, understanding that in the Middle East, success is deeply connected to relationships and reputation.
His influence extended beyond business operations. As a recognized member of the Asharqia Chamber of Commerce, the Saudi-Bahraini Business Council, and the Saudi- Netherlands Business Community, his network and contributions spanned multiple industries. Additionally, he is actively involved with the IRO Committee (BNBN – Bahrain Netherlands Business Network) and SPE KSA & International (Society of Petroleum Engineering). His expertise and leadership have also earned him a position as an Advisory Board Member at the EIC Committee (Energy Industrial Council) and the distinction of being the first Saudi and the first global ambassador for the EIC Committee. Through these roles, he strengthened his position within the global business ecosystem.
But he knew the vision didn’t stop there. Looking ahead, Ali saw vast opportunities unfolding in Saudi Arabia. With the country set to host the 2027 Olympics and the 2030 Expo, he aimed to position Power Summit as a key player, inviting investors to join his expanding business network. His knowledge, connections, and presence in the Saudi market made him a gateway for international businesses seeking a foothold in the region.
Beyond traditional sectors like oil and gas, maritime services, offshore dredging, construction, and engineering, Ali set his sights on entertainment and sports—two industries experiencing unprecedented growth in Saudi Arabia. Recognizing the global shift toward technology, he also embraced artificial intelligence, integrating smart solutions to drive efficiency and innovation. His expansion strategy was not limited to Saudi Arabia alone. With operations spanning 24 to 25 countries, Power Summit became an international force, seamlessly navigating logistics and cross-border business. Ali Al Ghanim’s vision was clear—not just to grow a company, but to build a legacy, a business empire that would stand the test of time.
Uniting a Global Workforce Under One Vision
Ali Al Ghanim firmly believes in the power of a unified commercial team, where knowledge is shared across borders, and collaboration is at the heart of success. His vision extends beyond individual achievements—he fosters a culture where teams support each other, regardless of location, to create a truly global business network.
At Power Summit, the objective has always been clear: grow smart, think commercially, and keep the customer at the center of everything. This commitment has driven the company’s expansion to 26 locations across the USA, Europe, and Asia, making it a key player in international recruitment and staffing.
One of the company’s biggest strengths is its vast, industry-leading database, allowing for tailored recruitment solutions that meet the diverse needs of various markets. Beyond technology and resources, what sets Power Summit apart is its 24/7 availability, ensuring top-tier customer service, and its presence at global exhibitions and events, reinforcing its reputation as an international leader.
However, Ali knows that a global team must stay connected. To ensure alignment, iPS Powerful People organizes an International Week twice a year, where leaders from all 25+ offices gather in the Netherlands. These meetings serve as a platform to review past achievements, analyze market trends, and strategize for the future, ensuring that every region operates under a unified vision and strategy.
For Ali, the greatest achievement isn’t just growth—it’s the ability to keep a multinational team working as one, driving toward a shared goal. Through strategic planning, continuous adaptation, and an unwavering commitment to excellence, he is shaping Power Summit into an unstoppable force in global business.
Redefining Talent Acquisition with Technology and Excellence
Ali Al Ghanim has always understood that technology is the backbone of modern staffing solutions. Under his leadership, iPS has built one of the largest and smartest recruitment databases, ensuring speed, accuracy, and efficiency in talent acquisition.
A recent system upgrade has made iPS’s operations even more streamlined. With a single click, recruiters can upload candidate profiles, making the hiring process seamless and efficient. At global exhibitions and hiring events, iPS leverages cutting-edge barcode scanning technology, allowing them to instantly collect candidate data within seconds. Meanwhile, a dedicated back-office team ensures that all information remains current and accurate, eliminating outdated records and keeping the system ready for immediate deployment.
This tech-driven approach sets iPS apart from traditional recruitment firms. Instead of simply forwarding CVs to clients and leaving the administrative burden on them, iPS takes full ownership of the hiring process. The team conducts initial screening, first-round interviews, and rigorous candidate filtering, presenting only the best-matched profiles to clients for final selection. This eliminates wasted time, allowing clients to focus solely on choosing the right talent.
Staying Ahead in Global Workforce Mobility
Ali recognizes that the future of staffing lies not just in technology but also in creating an unmatched candidate experience. iPS is proactive in offering competitive benefits, ensuring that it remains the first choice for top talent worldwide.
To maintain its leadership position, iPS provides:
- Global life insurance & liability coverage for candidate security
- Premium medical insurance and work permits
- Residency and family support for expatriates
- Education benefits & professional certifications to enhance career growth
In Saudi Arabia, iPS goes a step further, offering residency sponsorship, premium medical insurance, and even schooling benefits for select candidates—making it one of the most sought-after employers in the region. Beyond its workforce, iPS ensures full legal and regulatory compliance. The company is a certified and approved partner of Saudi Aramco, holds ISO certifications, and even implemented cybersecurity standards, despite it not being mandatory—demonstrating its commitment to excellence.
iPS’s dedication to global compliance and ethical business practices has also earned it the prestigious Certified B Corporation status, reinforcing its position as a leader in responsible and forward-thinking staffing solutions. Ali Al Ghanim’s vision for iPS and Power Summit is clear: to combine smart technology, world-class benefits, and regulatory excellence to remain at the forefront of global staffing.
