In a country where women are not allowed to vote,drive or go out unaccompanied by male relatives or guardians,Nadia Al-Dossary has carved a niche for herself as a model for triumph in the face of suppression.
Nadia is the CEO of Al-Sale trading and contracting company,a 500 million dollar scrap metal company in Saudi.Not yet 40,Nadia leads a group of women who are challenging stereotype and making giant strides in their careers and the business in a conservative country.
Nadia is a stark contradiction to women in other developing and/or Islamic societies like Northern Nigeria who are complacent and unachieving while blaming it on socio-cultural norms.Nadia,even though a target of ridicule from bearded males,has shown that indeed change is happening in Saudi,Kudos to an achiever!
