The Story of NBK RISE

How it
all started?

Deputy Group CEO Shaikha Al-Bahar identified a leadership gender gap and in a speech, she told the audience "We want to see more female leaders".
These words inspired a new program to reduce the gap, an initiative by women, for women. where women leaders use their own experience to develop more women leaders aiming for higher representation of women in leadership roles in corporations.

What's New this Year?
