In a landmark initiative aimed at enhancing female representation in the private sector, the UAE government has mandated that private joint-stock companies ensure at least one woman occupies a seat on their boards of directors. This directive, announced by the Ministry of Economy, will take effect in January and marks a significant step toward bolstering gender equality in the business landscape.
MTR Group stands as an outstanding example of this commitment, championing gender equality and empowering women in key leadership roles. Under the visionary guidance of CEO Tarlan Musaev, the company is making remarkable strides in creating a diverse and inclusive workplace.
Among the trailblazers at MTR Group whose innovative strategies have elevated the brand; Nargiza Karimova, Deputy Chief Executive Officer, whose strategic insights guide the company toward its ambitious goals; Daria Kolotilina, Head of Yacht Operations, who is redefining operational excellence in the luxury yacht sector; and Hina, Chief Human Resources Officer, Yuliya Babich, Head Designer East Vibe, who fosters a culture of inclusivity and employee well-being. Together, they embody MTR Group’s dedication to diversity and align seamlessly with the UAE’s recent mandate for gender representation in corporate governance.
“Empowering women in leadership is not just a matter of equality; it’s essential for our innovation and growth as a company,” asserts Tarlan Musaev.
He added: “When women are given a seat at the table, we benefit from diverse perspectives that drive creativity and enhance decision-making. This initiative aligns perfectly with the UAE’s vision for gender equality and a balanced workforce, reflecting our collective commitment to fostering an inclusive environment that supports sustainable development and positions the UAE as a global leader in corporate governance.”
As MTR Group continues to expand, it is dedicated to nurturing the next generation of female leaders through mentorship and professional development opportunities. This commitment not only honors current achievements but also paves the way for future talent, reinforcing MTR Group’s role as a leader in promoting inclusivity in the corporate sector.
