Why jobless Arab youth need schooling in entrepreneurship
Many young Arabs have aspirations to enter industries that can’t or won’t hire them - just one of the many obstacles that better entrepreneurial education in the region could fix.
A policy advocate with expertise in corporate-government relations, networking and board stewardship. I was among the originators of the first JA MENA branch in Jordan, managing public relations, volunteer recruitment and fundraising.
My extensive involvement in establishing INJAZ Al-Arab as a regional role model enabled me to successfully implement an operational strategy to roll out JA across 14 countries in the Middle East and North Africa.
During my remit at INJAZ Al-Arab as a former Deputy CEO and currently the President and CEO, I have provided strategic operations and fundraising support to INJAZ country offices, which contributed today to empowering over 6 million Arab youth supported by over 100 thousand volunteers and 200 board members.
Prior to joining JA, I held planning and research positions at Jordan’s Ministry of Water and Irrigation, and Swiss healthcare intelligence conglomerate IMS Health. I completed my education at Harvard University's Executive Leaders Program for 2018-2019
