Women in Business: President

I am Jamillah Thabet, and I would be honoured to serve as your Women in Business Society President.

The Action Plan

Competitions with Top Firms

  • I will introduce firm-sponsored competitions, where Women in Business members will solve real-world challenges in teams.
  • These competitions will be judged by company representatives, providing participants with direct exposure to recruiters and hiring managers.
  • Whether it’s consulting cases, investment pitches, fintech strategy challenges, or marketing campaigns, these competitions will help members develop tangible skills and standout CV experiences.

Exclusive Mentorship Programme

  • I will establish a one-of-a-kind mentorship programme, pairing small groups (2–5 members) with successful female professionals in top industries.
  • These mentors will provide application support, career guidance, and insider knowledge to help members excel in recruitment and career progression.
  • This will give our members early, meaningful connections to women who have broken barriers in business.
  • I will actively engage with firms and industry leaders to increase internship and job opportunities for our members.

Networking that Works

  • Our events will be designed to help you form real connections with top industry professionals.
  • I will organise networking workshops that focus on making impactful connections, securing referrals, and navigating male-dominated industries with confidence.
  • Expect high-profile guest speakers from finance, consulting, tech, and entrepreneurship, offering exclusive insights and opportunities.

Building a Strong, Supportive Community

  • Women in Business is about empowering each other. I will create more interactive and engaging events where members can share experiences, seek advice, and form strong professional and personal bonds.
