Young Saudi entrepreneur honored at Takreem’s 2015 awards

In honour of his efforts as the founder and CEO of Glowork, young Saudi Khaled AlKhudair received the Young Entrepreneur Award from TAKREEM.

The awards initiative saw its sixth edition on November 14 and played host to aspiring Arabs who have excelled in their field and inspired others in their quest for cultural, educational, scientific, environmental, humanitarian, social and economic excellence.

Launched four years ago Gloworks is “bridging the gap for women in the workplace”. Through a series of facilitatory steps, such as offering them consulting services, or helping them create virtual offices from home, AlKhudair has been helping women find work.

“We have helped more than 27,000 women so far,” said AlKhudair. “And we’re looking to expand our work through a new app and platform, to be revealed later on.”

He added that receiving this award is “an opportunity that gives me great motivation to continue,” adding that these kind of initiatives “give us a chance to share our stories. We don’t have a lot of chances to do that.”
