Today I completed Module 1 of the Social Entrepreneurship 101 development course. The course is sponsored by EY, and delivered by the Acumen Academy. As a life long learner, I am always looking for courses that challenge my way of thinking, and that provide me with that different lens for me to view the world through. I am taking the course with colleagues from around the world, and just listening to everyone's individual journeys and life experiences has been extraordinary 😀. Too often we can fall into the trap of thinking that our lives are ordinary, and that the lives we have lived are not that interesting. This could not be further from the truth. 💯% #SocialEntrepreneurship #EY #grow

I am pleased to share that in my interview with Caroline Copley from IMD, we delved into the primary challenges I have encountered. Specifically, we explored the hurdles of achieving effective board governance in SME business as an Arab female entrepreneur, thanks to professor Didier Cossin. I had to deal with some company investors who were behaving like board directors,” . In my opinion, building a board can be a double-edged sword. “While a board can bring a fresh perspective, it can also lead to increased expenses, added time commitment, as well as potential for conflict of interest. It can result in routine meetings and repetitive jargon, diverting resources away from strategic innovation,” #imd #hpb #governance #SME #cedem #fsb https://lnkd.in/eVrVWDrv

Particularly noteworthy is our 2nd position within the Financial Services and Insurance sector among 15 distinguished firms and our 22nd place in our regional category. This recognition is not just about numbers; it encapsulates our journey of remarkable growth, a staggering 415% increase from 2019 to 2022, with an impressive annual growth rate of 79%. Behind these numbers lies a deeper story of #entrepreneurship and determination. When I first joined iM Global Partner, I was drawn to the allure of entrepreneurship embedded in its DNA. More than a career move, it was a chance to leverage my talents to make a positive impact.
