    Making space for growth: Emiratisation in the private sector
    Dec 10 2025

    Emiratisation is not simply about opening doors through policy; it is about what happens once people step inside. The true opportunity lies in creating experiences that engage, develop, and retain Emirati talent in ways that are meaningful both to individuals and to the organisations they serve.

    In this episode, hosted by Dr. Adrian Waite, we hear from Ahlam Abdulla Al Marzooqi, Group Emiratisation Manager at Galadari Brothers, and Fatima Mohammad Yousuf Ali Alblooshi, Assistant Business Development Manager at Galadari Brothers – Motors Division, and the first Emirati talent to enrol in and graduate from Ruwad, the organisation’s Leadership Development Programme. Together, they share candid reflections on navigating Emiratisation roles, responding to evolving regulations, and confronting the realities of the ‘war for talent.’ Their stories underscore the importance of strong onboarding, recognition programmes that foster trust and inclusion, clear career paths that enable long-term growth, and the flexibility that empowers Emiratis to balance professional ambitions with personal responsibilities while contributing to their communities and nation.
