Zainab A.

Operations Area Manager | Dubai, UAE

Zainab has always had the urge to learn and explore. When she met Amazonians at a recruitment fair, she had the feeling the company would allow her to keep busy and try new things. Today, she’s an area manager at our largest warehouse in the United Arab Emirates, managing a team of 175.

People are often surprised when she tells them what she does. "They seem to think working in logistics or operations isn't a job for women," she says. "But I'm far from being the only woman here. Most people don’t realize the variety of roles there are in my field. A job in logistics teaches you a skill set that equips you for the future. It gives you room for growth. It gives you work-life balance that lets you pursue your dreams."

Zainab studied Technology Innovation, Security, and Networking at university. She now has a job where she can see how data and technology are used to transform the way we work. "As Emiratis, we value generosity and giving back to the community," she points out. "We commit to these values in everything we do. I'm proud to prove that Emirati women can succeed in all fields. We can reach our potential and achieve our dreams while preserving our country’s culture and values. I feel so lucky to be an Emirati woman with the chance to mentor others and influence their career journeys."
