WBD’s roundtable on ‘How to Get an NED Position and Excel in It’ was held in collaboration with the Apex Group at the latter’s DIFC office. It was an insightful session with key takeaways on what to expect while applying for a non-executive directorship’s position — a subject of great interest especially for women, given that the UAE now has guidelines for gender diversity in this matter. It was attended by top industry leaders from Dubai and Abu Dhabi, and the workshop was preceded by an engaging discussion on ‘Women in Leadership: Breaking Barriers and Setting Benchmarks’.
