The initiative is designed to provides high-potential female leaders with a bespoke personal development programme that will prepare them for the next level of their careers.
The launch of the FLI programme in Egypt took place in the presence of Ambassador Nabila Makram, Minister of Immigration and Egyptians Abroad Affairs, who inspired participants by sharing her journey as a leader. The event was also attended by senior Marriott International leaders including, Francisca Martinez, Chief Human Resources Officer, Europe, Middle East & Africa, Sandeep Walia, Chief Operating Officer, Middle East, and Ahmed Hozaien, Area Vice-President for Saudi Arabia, Bahrain and Egypt.
