He obtained his Bachelor of Business Administration from King Abdulaziz University.

He is chairman and CEO of Al-Dabbagh Group (ADG). The business is a family conglomerate founded in 1962 by his father, Abdullah Mohammed Ali Al-Dabbagh, the former Minister of Agriculture of Saudi Arabia.[3]

He was governor of the Saudi Arabian General Investment Authority (SAGIA).[4][5][6][7]

He was the founding Chairman of the think tank the Jeddah Economic Forum. He has been a board member of the Jeddah Chamber of Commerce & Industry.

In 2015, he created Philanthropy University which offers Massive Open Online Courses (MOOCs) to Global South non-profit leaders.[8] The initiative was created with the collaboration of Institute for Business and Social Impact at the Haas School.[9][10]

He founded the UK based Stars Foundation that operated from 2001-2020.[11][12]

Corruption allegations

Main article: 2017 Saudi Arabian purge

In November 2017, Al-Dabbagh was detained as part of what was called a wide-ranging "anti-corruption" purge that also ensnared Saudi Princes Alwaleed bin Talal and Miteb bin Abdullah.[13][14]

On November 4, it was claimed that Dabbagh was called from Jeddah to the Ritz Carlton, a luxurious Riyadh hotel that had been converted into a makeshift prison for hundreds of Saudis suspected of corruption by the authorities, and was detained together with other prominent Saudi officials and businessmen.[15]

Along with Dabbagh, Adel Fakeih, the former economy minister of the country, and Hani Khoja, were kept in custody.[16]

Dabbagh continued to deny the charges against him.[17][16] Until 20 December 2018, there was no specific charges against Al-Dabbagh, or any legal proceedings. He was released without charge on 23 January 2019.[18]
