Today we met with two impressive buisness women who were Huda AlMtroushi and Salwa Alshaibany. Huda AlMatroushi started with a coffee shop that unfortunately failed but she didn't give up and went back into the buisness world again opening an exhibit called "Ancestor's Heritage" which is now a great success. She now works along side her role model Salwa Alshaibany. Salwa alshaibany was one of the first buisness women in the UAE. Salwa was the first local lady to work as a manager of the Khalejie Commercial Bank -ladies branch.Then she moved to work in a foreign bank called Grindley's bank. After that, she opened the Papillion Slimming institute that was an introduction of awarness about health for women. at the begining of this project, she hired someone to mange her buisness but after 10 months she was going to loose everything. So, she taght us never let anyone manage your buisness which I thought was really interesting. Then then in 1989, she started Maltex International LL. with a slogan that was "" Making Dreams a Reality" that was a trading company. Moreover, in 1995 she applied to Harvard University and got 3 different certificates which were in the Owner/President Management program, the Agribuisness Seminar and the Women Leading Bsuisness. Nevertheless and after gtting her Harvard certificates, she opened the Codor Medical Waste Management CO.LTC which she felt was much harder thn she imagined even with all her experience. finally, in 2002 she won the Emiratee Buisness Women Award. I find this women very impressive especially that she was able to accomplish all her achievments facing so many struggles from being in a male dominant society to being a widow at the age of 35 and having to raise all her children alone.
