Day of Dubai
At the We the Women conference organised by Khaleej Times, inspiring female leaders shared stories of resilience, sacrifice, and ambition. Kimberly Pearce, CEO of King’s College Hospital London in Dubai, revealed she once hid her motherhood to avoid discrimination in nursing school — later topping her class and changing outdated policies. Shamsa Al-Falasi, now Citi Country Officer, UAE, spoke about setting clear career goals and always striving for the next milestone. Isobel Abulhoul, CEO of Emirates Literature Festival, discussed using storytelling to challenge stereotypes about Emirati women. The panel also highlighted supportive male allies — like Dr. Sonia Ben Jaafer’s father, who did the dishes so she could study. What do you think — how can workplaces better support women to break the glass ceiling?
