This month, we commenced our renowned Perspectives: Women in Leadership event series in the Gulf region, running from Sunday 6 October to Thursday 10 October. Now in its seventh year, this series provides current and future women leaders with a vital platform to share experiences, connect, and support one another.
Hosted by our Director – GCC, An Kelles, the series explored the diverse journeys of women in leadership roles across various sectors globally. The events are designed to inspire and empower female leaders by facilitating meaningful networking opportunities.
The series kicked off on Sunday 6 October in Riyadh, exclusively for women, and continued with events in Doha on Tuesday 8 October and Dubai on Thursday 10 October, both open to all attendees. The events in Doha and Dubai featured a welcome address from Deputy Elaine Millar, Minister for Treasury and Resources and Assistant Minister for External Relations, Government of Jersey.
As women continue to emerge as a significant economic force, this event series provides a unique opportunity for GCC families and businesses to reevaluate their strategies considering the new generation of millennial leaders transforming traditional business practices.
Delegates also heard insights from our Deputy Chief Executive Officer, Amy Bryant, along with various female business leaders who will share their experiences in the financial services industry.
Deputy Elaine Millar, Minister for Treasury and Resources and Assistant Minister for External Relations, Government of Jersey, said:
Jersey, as a leading international finance centre, is committed to fostering collaboration and sharing insights with key global markets.

She added:
“The Women in Leadership series provides a platform to achieve this, while also offering an opportunity to share the work Jersey is doing to support gender diversity and leadership in financial services.”
An Kelles, our Director – GCC, stated:
“This event series is not just about celebrating women in leadership; it’s about fostering a community where we can support one another, share insights, and continue to drive progress across our sectors.”
In addition to the Perspectives: Women in Leadership series, we recently sponsored Informa Connect’s inaugural Cross-Border Planning: Middle East conference in Riyadh, reinforcing Jersey’s commitment to international collaboration and innovation in the Gulf region’s financial sector.
