Revealed: UAE’s 5 most prominent women in tech world

Dr. Aisha Bint Butti Bin Bishr, director-general of the Smart Dubai Office; Ambareen Musa, CEO of souqalmal.com; and Mona Ataya, CEO and founder of Mumzworld.com, have been recognised among the most prominent UAE-based women in the world of technology.

Kinda Ibrahim, Global Content Partnerships director for MEA and Turkey at Twitter; and Ming Hu, co-founder of Women In Tech Dubai, are the other two among the top five most prominent women, according to NordVPN.

The list comes on the eve of Women's Day which is marked on March 8 globally.

“Such inspiring UAE-based examples help to combat misconceptions about the tech industry and encourage women to be more determined to pursue a career in STEM (science, technology, engineering and math). Women should believe that the technology sector is a place where they belong,” says Laura Tyrell, head of PR at NordVPN.

“Girls are globally held off STEM following stereotypes according to which that's not something women do. Gladly, there are numerous UAE-based women examples to prove the opposite. We need to talk more about such inspiring women to encourage the rest to break through the stereotypes and pursue tech careers,” says Tyrell.
