Atlas Group is pleased to announce the US-Algerian Business Council (USABC), a prominent bilateral business association based in Washington, D.C., voted to appoint long-time Houston resident, Yunus Dogan, as the new Chairman of the Board.
“I feel very privileged to take on this role at such an exciting time for U.S. businesses in Algeria. The USABC is dedicated to supporting U.S. corporations in Algeria, as I’ve seen first-hand over the past years as a member,” said Mr. Dogan. “I hope to continue and enhance this advocacy during my tenure as Board Chairman.”
As Chairman and CEO, Mr. Dogan has spent the last 40 years growing Atlas Group from a small, family-owned construction company into a multinational enterprise with operations in construction, agriculture, manufacturing, retail, and biotechnology.
“Mr. Dogan’s long history of leadership, coupled with his experience in business development in both the U.S. and Algeria, makes him an ideal person for this role. I look forward to working closely with Mr. Dogan to continue to ensure USABC makes a positive impact for all stakeholders,” said Ismael Chikhoune, President and CEO of the US-Algeria Business Council.
In Algeria, Atlas Group has spent the last 20 years building one of the most trusted names in construction, having completed projects for the Algerian government including hundreds of thousands of housing units, countless hospitals, government buildings, schools and other municipal and commercial buildings. During Atlas’ time in Algeria, the company has focused on developing skilled local labor, with Algerian citizens now making up the majority of Atlas in-country management and total workforce. In addition to construction, Atlas has invested in domestic agriculture, including the recent commercial launch of Atlas Farming.
