Abu Dhabi, U.A.E — The AmCham Abu Dhabi Women in Business Committee is pleased to announce that Nexus has signed ‘WOMEN ACHIEVE,’ an innovative initiative that promotes the professional advancement of women. WOMEN ACHIEVE was created by AmCham Abu Dhabi’s Women in Business Committee as ideals intended to support companies and organizations in advancing women to positions of greater responsibility and leadership.

As signatory of the WOMEN ACHIEVE program, Nexus joins a growing list of prominent companies that includes Boeing, ExxonMobil, F&E Aerospace, Mubadala GE Capital, NYIT, Olgoonik Global Security, Parsons, and others. As a supporter of WOMEN ACHIEVE, Nexus pledges to ensure that it provides an environment where women can further develop their leadership skills and excel in their respective areas of expertise, through a positive corporate and organizational culture.

Souad Al Hosani, President of Nexus, expressed her excitement about joining this initiative saying, “Nexus is proud to be an innovative women-owned business and is honored that our directors and manager positions are lead by females. Being an Emirati entrepreneur, I am delighted to see that the U.A.E. is working to narrow the gap between males and females in the executive workforce.”

Matthew E. Byrd, Chairman of AmCham Abu Dhabi, said, “We are delighted to have Nexus sign WOMEN ACHIEVE. AmCham Abu Dhabi is proud to support innovative initiatives, such as WOMEN ACHIEVE, that foster positive change in the business community.”

Established in January 2013, WOMEN ACHIEVE focuses on seven key ideals that companies undertake to guide them towards developing a work environment that is conducive for the professional growth of women. The ideals include encouraging women to grow through training, shadowing, coaching, mentorship and internship programs, to consider female candidates for new opportunities and support ‘rising stars’ into leadership positions. WOMEN ACHIEVE also encourages the induction of women to serve on boards of different organizations and promotes the importance of fair remuneration for female employees.

Participation in WOMEN ACHIEVE is open to entities of all sizes. Companies that are interested can elect to become signatories by contacting AmCham Abu Dhabi. WOMEN ACHIEVE signatories receive a certificate of acknowledgement from AmCham Abu Dhabi and are eligible to use the WOMEN ACHIEVE seal on their communication collateral.
