Taking on the role of President of the Bahrain Businesswomen’s Society has been an incredibly transformative experience. When I first became involved with BBS, I was inspired by its mission to support women’s aspirations. Taking on the responsibility of leading the organisation offered me an opportunity to make a tangible impact on the business landscape in Bahrain. My immediate focus was to build a clear vision for the future of BBS and ensure that it would not only be a platform for women to network but also a powerhouse for change, advocacy and opportunity.
