Shaikh Founder, CEO MS Education Consultants
Q. 1. Kindly introduce yourself to our Readers. I am truly delighted to introduce myself to the readers of Linbiz International. My name is Dr. Mariam Shaikh and I am the Founder, CEO of MS Education Consultants here in Dubai, UAE. Having served as President of Linbiz Global last year, I feel very fortunate and pleased to have had the opportunity to interact with and support such a dynamic group of forward-thinking minds with boundless talent and drive. It has been a wonderful journey for me with like-minded women entrepreneurs on this group from a diverse mix of nationalities which is very characteristic of our beautiful Dubai integrated culture and lifestyle. As a long-standing professional in the Education field, my journey in the UAE has been a very exciting one of many milestone achievements spanning over the past 35 years from owning my own Preschool in the 1980s to heading a large K-12 school as their Principal and then as a Senior Leader and Vice President for well-known and reputed International Universities in the United Arab Emirates. Having actively contributed to the exponential growth of the student population of Universities such as the Canadian University Dubai, Heriot-Watt University Dubai LINBIZ GLOBAL | PAGE - 4
Campus and Amity University Dubai, I now look forward to a new innovative chapter with my own venture, MS Education Consultants which I started in 2020 and was undoubtedly my silver lining during the pandemic. As I always say “It is never too late to set a New Goal or dream a New Dream”. My expertise in Higher Education is in the areas of Student Recruitment, Marketing, Strategic Development, International Relations and Student Experience. I am pleased to share that last year, MS Education Consultants was appointed as the official ‘Middle East Strategist’ for the University of Guelph in Ontario, Canada; a top ranked comprehensive University, recognized as a Canadian Leader in Student Experience and known for experiential learning and career development. This has been a fantastic milestone for my Company and I look forward to continued success and excellence with this prestigious partnership. I strongly believe in active participation in Public forums, speaking at Conferences and expanding my network.
“The new form of networking is not about climbing a ladder to success; it’s all about collaboration, co-creation, partnerships, and long-term value-based relationships.”
