The push for gender diversity in leadership goes beyond creating role models for women - it’s about driving organizational competitiveness and growth. Yet, Heidrick & Struggles’ first study of key leadership roles at the top 50 Middle East companies found that female representation at the CEO level remains low across the region.   This is where succession planning plays a pivotal role. Developing great leaders—especially women capable of stepping into CEO roles—requires a long-term commitment. Organizations must view this as a strategic business priority to cultivate the next generation of female leaders. I’ve had the opportunity to share some insights alongside my colleagues Mohamad Turk and Dr. Jay Bevington into the key considerations and strategies for Middle East companies aiming to drive succession planning at the CEO level.

In this Vogue Business story, my colleague Federica Levato notes that the current #luxury market is evolving to cater more to the ultra-high-net-worth consumer. This demographic, while representing only 2% of total luxury consumers worldwide, accounts for a significant 40% of the market and is steadily growing. She observes that these top-end consumers remain relatively unaffected by economic uncertainties, making them a prime target for luxury #brands and #retailers. One key factor driving this shift is the increasing sophistication of these consumers, who are well-versed in luxury trends, brands, and limited editions, often thanks to their engagement with social media. They are highly informed about the latest releases and collaborations in the luxury world. However, as demand for luxury goods continues to rise, it's becoming increasingly challenging for wealthy shoppers to acquire some of the most sought-after items.
