A daughter. A mother. An exceptional businesswoman. Her Excellency Fatima Al Jaber is a renowned Emirati female who invaded the “male-oriented” workplace, at the time where the role of woman was restricted to the borders of her house.
Her Excellency sets a perfect example for the Emirati leadership vision, aiming to enforce the role of local females within the work force. Her carrier is a witness to her accomplishments, and her resume is lavish. It will take more than one article to cover all her achievements. Fatima Al Jaber is currently a board member of Abu Dhabi Chamber of Commerce and Industry, Council for Economic Development and Centre for Corporate Governance and is a Chief Operating Officer at Al Jaber Group.
Her Excellency’s speech during the 100th anniversary celebration of International Women’s Day in Abu Dhabi had an outstanding effect in motivating young females. By the side of other inspiring speakers of the third panel of the event, Fatima Al Jaber exchanged views regarding the opportunities for professional advancement in the Middle East. “A women with talent, a women with mind can do miracles.” stated Fatima Al Jaber. According to her, the issue is to make women believe in themselves and make them move forward.
“ I think these events can help women understand each other first…you listen to these ladies and you learn…and younger generation will listen to you at certain times and will learn from your experience” commented Fatima Al Jaber.
