MEET OUR PEOPLE
Meet Mirna Tarek, Financial Controller, DP World Sokhna. From aviation finance to leading financial operations in logistics and port management, Mirna’s career is a testament to resilience, ambition, and a relentless pursuit of excellence. Her journey reflects the power of continuous learning, adaptability, and the drive to make a meaningful impact.
That day marked the beginning of an incredible journey. I built the reporting department from the ground up, advanced to Reporting Section Head, and later led financial activities for logistics and port operations. One of my proudest achievements was contributing to a major acquisition. Today, as Financial Controller, every milestone reflects my persistence, adaptability, and passion for driving impact.”
Always in the Numbers, Always Thinking Ahead
“Financial statements are more than numbers – they are the pulse of an organisation, guiding key decisions and shaping future strategies. My role is to ensure financial transparency, compliance with IFRS, and the seamless execution of audits, tax compliance, and financial reporting.
But finance isn’t just about precision – it’s about problem-solving. In a fast-paced industry, technological disruptions can threaten accuracy and deadlines. The key? Adaptability. I approach challenges with a solution-oriented mindset, leveraging teamwork, efficiency, and strategic planning to turn obstacles into opportunities.”
A Mindset of Continuous Learning and Growth
“What keeps me motivated? The endless opportunities to grow, evolve, and make an impact. At DP World, I am constantly pushed to learn, refine my skills, and embrace new challenges. No two days are ever the same, and that’s what keeps me driven.
I believe in the power of knowledge and adaptability. ‘Those who cannot remember the past are condemned to repeat it’. Every challenge, every setback is a lesson that fuels progress. To succeed, I balance hard work with smart work, remain open to change, and stay committed to integrity and perseverance. And most importantly, I believe that whatever you do, it will contribute back to you – so always give your best.
DP World is more than just a workplace; it’s a platform where ideas turn into innovation, collaboration drives progress, and every role contributes to something bigger. Being part of a company that fuels global trade and economic growth gives my work a deeper sense of purpose.”
I Work For... A Greater Purpose
Beyond finance, I am passionate about staying active, exploring new places, and engaging in meaningful conversations. I thrive on competition—whether it’s through sports, marathons, or professional challenges. Travel fuels my curiosity, broadening my strategic thinking. These personal passions mirror my professional approach—staying agile, thinking ahead, and always striving for excellence.”
