In his current capacity as EVP, Chief Partnerships and Government Affairs Officer at Core42, and Acting Group Chief Global Affairs Officer at G42, Talal has been instrumental in shaping strategic global partnerships—including the company’s landmark collaboration with Microsoft—and elevating Core42’s engagement with key UAE and international entities. His combined commercial, technical, and government-facing experience uniquely positions him to guide Core42 into its next phase of growth and innovation.
This leadership transition follows the decision of Kiril Evtimov to step down as CEO at the end of the year. Core42 extends its deep appreciation to Kiril for his visionary leadership and the strong foundation he established. Under his guidance, Core42 transformed an ambitious vision into a tangible, thriving reality.
With Talal stepping into the interim CEO role, Core42 looks ahead to a new chapter focused on innovation, scale, and meaningful impact.
