Championing Change

Across myriad industries, female leadership and the status of women in business is on the rise.

Highlighting this central topic in our latest issue is a trinity of businesses. Born and bred gamer Anne Lise Waal, CTO and COO of Attensi, and leading female tech figurehead, discusses turning passion into a business in a male-dominated industry. Meanwhile, Maddy Russell and Rose Radtke, co-founders of Each to Their Own, tell us about helping businesses build community trust through the power of brand identity, and its impact on growth success.

Standing at the prow of female-led business is Gulf Craft, one of the world’s leading shipyards producing a range of vessels from fishing boats to megayachts - a leviathan business based in the UAE. Bearing a passion for seafaring in style, Deputy Managing Director Abeer AlShaali dives into how the company has navigated the choppy waters of the industry and is now making waves at the forefront of the market.

“We are made in the UAE, and we are very proud of that, but we don’t think of ourselves as an Asian builder or as a Middle East and North Africa (MENA) region builder. We are a boat builder for boat enthusiasts, and that’s international,” she shares.

Staying on course with the ocean theme we take a look at Salmon Evolution, the Norwegian salmon farming company by the coast, producing sustainable fresh fish utilising its advanced hybrid flow-through technology.

“Salmon Evolution represents a step change in salmon farming. Raising our salmon on land gives us a unique opportunity to optimise the environment so the salmon thrive and live a happy life. This results in quality the world has never seen before,” details CEO Trond Håkon Schaug-Pettersen.
