Saudi Business Women

Saudis dominate business in the Middle East, and recently, Saudi women have been getting more support to show their talent. Many Saudi businesswomen are self-made and have started when it was rare to find women in the workplace. Here are some of their names.

Rasha AlEmam

 CEO of Alif Alif Radio in the Kingdom and in her 40s, one of the youngest CEOs, has had her job since 2010. Radio is AlEmam’s passion; she is aiming to make Alif Alif FM the number one radio channel in the Kingdom in five years’ time. Her goal is to spread its content across multiple platforms including digital and traditional channels and an English language channel.

Noura Al-Mudaiheem

Noura Al-Mudaiheem joined Banque Saudi Fransi in 2007 under a professional development program designed to provide academic courses and on-the-job training to fresh graduates to smooth their entry into the banking sector and align their skills with banking needs. Now in her thirties, Al-Mudaiheem is a Senior Director at the bank.

Basmah Al-Mayman

Basmah is a Saudi woman holding a special managerial position. Like Al Emam, Radio Alif Alif’s CEO, Al-Mayman is in her forties and is Regional Director of the UN World Tourism Organization (UNWTO) for the Middle East.

It is great seeing these women rise up and go in line with Saudi’s 2030 vision!
