How do you incorporate style into your day job as a General Manager Middle East/ Global Sales Operations Manager ?

I like to be comfortable and stylish. I do not believe that a woman should dress like a man to be taken seriously, at the same time it has to be business appropriate.

Who are your style icons?

Coco Chanel, Audrey Hepburn and Jackie Kennedy. So classic I know.

 

 What fashion advice can you give to other busy mothers?

My style changed after having my kids and I love it. I prefer to be comfortable. I wear flats in case I have to chase them, and usually I choose fabrics that don’t wrinkle in case I need to carry one of them. Invest in cool sneakers that you can match with dresses and skirts.

 What local fashion designers are your current favorites?

I love OTT Dubai, it’s different and edgy and eye catching pieces. One of my favorites is also Adriana Iglesias her prints are so colorful and feminine. She represents a contemporary woman… I love that!

 

What is the one make-up item that you can’t leave home without?

 My Lipstick. It’s also the only item I carry with me.
