2. Introduction
Leveraging over three decades of investment experience in the
gas, oil, technology, manufacturing, and real estate sectors,
Jamal Daniel determines the policy of Crest Investment
Company as its chairman. Beyond this work, Jamal Daniel
serves as the founder of the Levant Foundation, which is a non-
profit that supports efforts to enhance knowledge of Middle
Eastern culture, and Al-Monitor, a news website that provides in-
depth coverage of important events in the Middle East.
In 2014, Al-Monitor received the International Press Institute’s
(IPI) Free Media Pioneer Award in recognition of the quality of its
coverage and its facilitation of journalism in areas where free
speech is oftentimes limited.
Created in 1997, the Free Media Pioneer Award is presented
annually at the IPI’s World Conference and highlights the work of
news media and organizations that aim to improve the flow of
information through their countries. Previous winners include
Tunisia’s Radio Kalima and Malaysia’s Radio Free Sarawak.
