The CEO of Pyramedia production company added that “this recognition is of a special kind because it was issued by a renowned and leading specialized publication. It highlights the active and successful role of women in all sectors of business, recognizing the most influential and accomplished female figures in several industry sectors that remained male-dominated for decades.” She also emphasized that “Arab women are lucky to find support in their efforts to achieve leadership across various businesses. There is no excuse for failure; we all have the necessary tools to improve our career.”
