As most of you know, we’re big on continuous learning at Sirdab, whether it’s through workshops or the experiences of entrepreneurs and business figures.

On August 12, Dr. Saad Al-Barrak, former CEO of Zain Group will be presenting Leadership and Management Lessons (an event open to members only, click here if you’d like to become a Sirdaber).
