The methodology of management that Al-Barrak brought in was the catalyst to making Zain Group into one of the largest telecom companies geographically.

Dr. Saad Al-Barrak lived closely to his father who was a renowned noble man that grew up in Sharq, Kuwait.

Growing up in Sharq, Hamad Al-Barrak was known as an honest and religious man who was the treasurer of the pearl merchant Hilal Al-Mutairi.

During the reign of Mubarak Al-Kabeer, Hamad Al-Barrak was one of the messengers that telegraphed The Emir's letter of apology for the merchants that migrated to Bahrain.

Al-Barrak was granted a scholarship for excelling in secondary school and decided to continue his education in The United States of America alongside a cohort of bright students.

Living in The United States at that time was supplemental to Al-Barrak's understanding of global economics that was a catalyst for his interest in technology.

Al-Barrak's education, with his background as a Kuwaiti Muslim that grew up in a transformative period for the world, shaped him for his roles later on.

After completion of his master's degree, he taught at the Kuwait Institute of Applied Technology as a part of the conditions of the government scholarship that he was given.
