    Jul 14 2025

    In this episode, we sit down with Naoum Barakat, a transformative leader in HR strategy and talent development across the UAE and beyond. With decades of experience shaping people and culture in some of the region’s most influential organisations, Naoum brings deep insight into what truly makes a great leader.
