Humanising Heavy Industry: The Emirati Woman’s Story

"If we want to make a change, we have to work"
Maitha Shuaib — An Executive Director Corporate Communications for Dubai Cable Company – Ducab

Throughout my life in Dubai and working with inspiring women from this region, I have always seen Arab women as strong, inspirational, intelligent, and dignified. There is something truly magical about them; they combine genuine femininity with strong leadership and power – qualities traditionally associated with men. Unfortunately, there are still many stereotypes that exist about Arab women, particularly those from the Gulf. So, it was my pleasure to challenge some of these misconceptions by inviting an incredible Emirati woman, Maitha Shuaib, to share her story.

Maitha’s hard work and dedication to her career have taken her from the Dubai Women Establishment to Dubai Cable Company (Ducab), a male-dominated heavy industry, where she now heads Corporate Communications as Executive Director. In this engaging conversation, Maitha shares her vision of “humanising” the industry and creating inspiration and love for this sector through a new brand narrative.  This episode is truly inspiring and filled with passion and pride for the UAE. It shows a great case study of how we can transform even the most traditional industries into captivating stories that people want to hear about. Enjoy the episode, share it with others, and don’t forget to leave your thoughts in the comments!
