Louise’s commitment to living the values and culture of the company speaks a lot about her leadership.

However, she dares to be different and takes calculated risks, while treating people with respect, warmth and humility.

Louise has created the organisation structure for all businesses to support
multi-skilling needs at as many levels as possible.

Financially, Louise has delivered financial HR strategies that has had to cater to a varied portfolio, which necessitated the establishment of a viable and uniform compensation and
benefits structure.

Furthermore, Louise has created an independent subsection of HR that deals purely with Emiratisation and Government Relations.
