After rising to executive leadership in the highly technical, male-dominated world of oil and gas, Sumayya Hassan made a bold pivot into financial services, eventually founding Iktifaa, a firm focused on delivering Shariah-compliant financial products.
In this week’s episode of She Means Business, Sumayya traces the road that took her from petroleum corridors to the boardrooms of Islamic finance, reflecting on the stereotypes she confronted, the leadership lessons she gathered, and the personal decisions that shaped the leader she is today.
