The Powerful Women of Saudi Arabia’s Family Businesses

KPMG Private Enterprise has famously published numerous studies and thought leadership articles on women in family businesses from across the globe, but none of these publications has looked exclusively at the role of women in Saudi Arabia. Until now! With the number of women in the Kingdom’s workforce increasing over the last decade, and women assuming leadership roles in Saudi companies, many of which are family businesses, their contribution and influence deserved a closer examination.

In this episode of WiFB, Kholoud Mousa, Partner & Head of Inclusion, Diversity and Equity and Buthainah Albaity, Director Private Enterprise – Family Business & Family Offices, share insights and findings from KPMG’s recent publication, The Power of Women in Family Businesses. The study was local to Saudi Arabia, featuring in-depth interviews with 14 female family business leaders from across the Kingdom and focuses on the changing role of women in these enterprises.
