Murad El Zagal

“My name is Murad El Zagal.  I’m a Strategy and Outreach Manager at Art Jameel.  Working with Art Jameel, and by extension Abdul Latif Jameel is an amazing opportunity at the moment because when I first joined, I was maybe the fourth employee working for Art Jameel.  And it was such a moment in which i can see there’s a lot of potential and a lot of growth taking place with the organization and just having witnessed all of that going from a team of four or five people all the way to the huge and amazing team that we have working now is, has been such an experience that’s really enriching.

It makes all the difference to be working for something that’s driven by a much bigger purpose.  The purpose of putting artwork and and culture from the region to everyone around.  To the audiences to the visitors that we, sort of, take time of their day to come and visit us.  And within that time period they end up learning so much within a small time because of this philanthropy because of this purpose that we have.   And that’s something that sort of reminds me every day that it’s it’s an amazing thing to be doing and that’s what keeps me and also a lot of our team and everyone on the team driven and focused all the time on this as a purpose.”
