Areej Al Hamad

I’m Areej Al Hamad, the executive manager of Emkan for financing start-ups, working under the umbrella of Al-Ahyaa Centers Association in Jeddah.

I was honored to work at Nafisa Shams and later at Bab Rizq Jameel.  I was attending a training course at Nafisa Shams, which lasted for three days.  Immediately, I felt much intimacy and affiliation to the luxurious place, the professional work team, the administrative officers and the way the place was organized.  I told my colleague that one day I would be working here.

I received a job offer at Nafisa Shams as a marketing and public relations officer, 6 months later, I was promoted to be a marketing and public relations supervisor.  It’s common in Abdul Latif Jameel, Nafisa Shams and Bab Rizq Jameel, that the employee who is proved proficient gets promoted at once.  There is an apparent acreer structure and a clear roadmap for employees’ promotion.

Happy 75th Anniversary . . .   I wish Community Jameel more achievements, more success and more professionalism.  I thank the administration, my former colleagues and happy anniversary.
