Chief Executive Officer at Edelman Middle East | Deputy Chair of Corporate Affairs for EMEA
Yesterday we brought together the whole of the Edelman Middle East team to celebrate their achievements over the past 12 months and set a clear path for the future. Over the course of the last year the team have done some of the most standout and impactful work in the industry, like managing communications for COP28, launching AI models that rival Google, and announcing a global water scarcity campaign. We have also done some cool things that matter and had fun while doing it - like signing a pledge with the Dubai government to give young Emirati talent an opportunity to intern with us; launching the latest Edelman Trust Barometer that shows the region is embracing innovation and technology; and finally we had an NBA superstar in the Dubai office meeting the team. We heard first-hand from senior advisors like Latifah RahmDel about her own journey in the industry, what important stakeholders think of Edelman, and what their upcoming priorities are. One thing is for sure - I am so proud of the whole team and what we do as a firm.
And rightfully so. A great team doing great things for great clients.
Beautiful post glad to be a part of the team, looking forward to more successes 🎉 !
