Saudi Arabia isn't following leadership trends. It's setting them. In Part 2 of this bold and insightful conversation, David Jones (CEO of Mercer Talent Enterprise) returns to explore how Saudi and UAE organisations are reshaping the global leadership narrative — with female leaders rising, young talent accelerating, and cultural shifts driving innovation. This episode is packed with real data, powerful case studies, and grounded advice for HR leaders, executives, and future-focused organisations across the GCC. What we unpack: 1. The Rise of Female Leadership in Saudi → Why female workforce participation surged from 9% to 29% in under a decade → How nationalisation policies are leveling the playing field → The corporate shifts making the biggest impact — from flexible structures to visible sponsorship 2. The Cultural & Economic Ripple Effect → How inclusive leadership is shifting Saudi's global image → Why brands are prioritizing gender-aligned teams to reflect customer power → What Saudi's transformation means for regional benchmarks 3. Building Future-Ready Leaders → The paradoxes modern leaders must navigate → Why followership is just as important as leadership → The surprising innovation potential inside call centres and frontline teams Data + insights you'll remember: ✅Saudi now outpaces India in female workforce growth ✅Innovation scores are often highest in frontline staff ✅Gen Z talent expects empowered leadership, not micromanagement ✅Many high-potential women are still invisible without structured assessments Tools & strategies covered: ✅ Thriving Index – uncover strengths + traits that drive workplace performance ✅ Element X – benchmark well-being at individual and org-wide levels ✅ Lighthouse platform – the "Netflix of assessments" for GCC talent teams ✅ Advice for HR: how to design inclusive pipelines, avoid tokenism, and unlock hidden leaders Books by David Jones: The Future of Assessments Game Changers (female leadership in MENA) Unlocking the Paradox of Plenty

Connect to John Gilroy on LinkedIn   https://www.linkedin.com/in/john-gilroy/ Want to listen to other episodes? www.Federaltechpodcast.com When most of us hear the word “lifecycle,” we normally assume they are talking about the Software Development Lifecycle. Today, we are going to vary that concept and discuss the Contract Lifecycle and its management. It has been recognized as a part of systems management, so it has developed its own abbreviation: Contract Lifecycle Management, or CLM. Our guest is Ryan Donley from Icertis. He highlights the shift from traditional methods like Excel spreadsheets to modern digital platforms. Much like software, the CLM can be divided into pre-award, post-award, compliance, and closeout areas. Every agency oversees this sequence in a unique manner. Ryan Donley points out that some organizations still use Excel spreadsheets for this task. He recommends that people realize that antiquated processes can limit your ability to have accurate information and can cause reporting to be delayed. Further, when a system is automated, coordination between departments is accelerated, and issues like compliance can be acted upon quickly. Icertis operates on a single-tenant GCC high cloud with Microsoft, ensuring security and compliance.

At Arm, open source is the default approach, with proprietary software requiring justification, says Andrew Wafaa, fellow and senior director of software communities. Speaking at KubeCon + CloudNativeCon Europe, Wafaa emphasized Arm's decade-long commitment to open source, highlighting its investment in key projects like the Linux kernel, GCC, and LLVM. This investment is strategic, ensuring strong support for Arm's architecture through vital tools and system software.Wafaa also challenged the hype around GPUs in AI, asserting that CPUs—especially those enhanced with Arm's Scalable Matrix Extension (SME2) and Scalable Vector Extension (SVE2)—are often more suitable for inference workloads. CPUs offer greater flexibility, and Arm's innovations aim to reduce dependency on expensive GPU fleets.On the AI framework front, Wafaa pointed to PyTorch as the emerging hub, likening its ecosystem-building potential to Kubernetes. As a PyTorch Foundation board member, he sees PyTorch becoming the central open source platform in AI development, with broad community and industry backing.Learn more from The New Stack about the latest insights about Arm: Edge Wars Heat Up as Arm Aims to Outflank Intel, Qualcomm Arm: See a Demo About Migrating a x86-Based App to ARM64Join our community of newsletter subscribers to stay on top of the news and at the top of your game.

Mukta shares how personal experience led her to identify a gap in the UAE beauty market and how she turned that into an opportunity by launching Miss Palatable, a platform dedicated to clean, ethical, and sustainable beauty products.Mukta delves into the challenges of bringing clean beauty to the GCC market, from navigating regulations to educating consumers on the importance of mindful consumption.

She provides valuable insights into what consumers should look for when choosing clean and sustainable beauty products and how purpose-driven businesses can thrive despite challengesQuotes3:23 - I find ourselves now becoming more of this hybrid platform where not only are we bringing in beauty brands, but we're also starting to work with homegrown brands and listing them on our website as well.4:33 - The industry here has always been dominated by extremely large players, so that was a huge challenge in bringing in brand awareness.6:10 - Transparency is even more important today than it was before.7:01 - It's our responsibility to be transparent and that's why, when I'm curating brands, I'm really looking at that.7:54 - I believe over the years we've built a level of trust with our customers and there's a certain expectation that comes out of products that we launch on Miss Palatable that it is our responsibility to make sure that we are very transparent in that sense.9:25 - When it comes under sustainability, we're always focused on, especially within the beauty industry.14:41 - Building a brand that is sustainable and ethical is probably the hardest type of brand to build. It's an extremely long journey.15:14 - When things are not going your way, it's even more important to remind yourself of why you are doing it and have that motivate you to keep pushing forward.15:45 - Keeping a balance is always a challenge. It is a work in progress.16:25 – Other thing I've learned is learning to say no.16:38 - Prioritizing where I have to be and where I cannot say no and where I don't really need to be and I should say no.18:10 - I at least try and get my steps in.18:32 - Enjoy the journey up ahead.18:46 – Trust in the universe, to trust that everything is going to come together in time and to keep going.Useful LinksWebsite:The Matrix Green Pill Podcast: https://thematrixgreenpill.com/Please review us: https://g.page/r/CS8IW35GvlraEAI/review

Jeannette talks to Fabien Chesnais, the General Manager of the General Manager of Mövenpick Resort Al Marjan Island. Fabien shares his journey in the hospitality industry, discussing the evolving role of a general manager and the importance of understanding operations, technology, and team dynamics. He reflects on the challenges of opening a hotel, the significance of creativity in food and beverage offerings, and the changing demands of customers, particularly regarding sustainability and dietary preferences KEY TAKEAWAYS The role of a general manager in hospitality has shifted from primarily being a PR representative to requiring a diverse skill set that includes commercial acumen, technological proficiency, and a deep understanding of operations across all departments. Effective general management involves not only operational knowledge but also strong people management skills. Motivating and developing a team is crucial, as the hospitality industry is fundamentally a people-centric business. Opening a hotel is a complex process that involves meticulous planning, team hiring, system implementation, and navigating regulatory requirements. Successful openings often require flexibility and proactive problem-solving to meet deadlines and expectations. Modern customers are increasingly focused on sustainability, health, and unique experiences. This shift necessitates that hotels adapt their offerings, including food and beverage options, to meet diverse dietary needs and preferences. BEST MOMENTS "To become a good general manager, you need to understand the operation. You need to understand each department in depth. And this takes time." "I think there is definitely a sense of care. When customers choose a hotel, they want to make sure that this hotel is sustainable and takes care of its people." "Food is a non-ending story. We sleep one time, we eat three times." "I think there is a lot of, you know, let's try it, let's be different, let's be aggressive. But there is no fear here."
