More than 30 years of experience and a successful track record in leading and elevating business leaders and teams across the globe.
Following a shattering accident, 8 years ago, with devastating injuries, I have defied all expectations to beat the odds. ( See my Profile) My recovery has been an inspirational journey of resilience and the power of leveraging personal strengths. Although Im still a work in progress, I’m not just surviving, I am thriving.
We all face challenges but being crushed is not an option. We need to develop the strengths to thrive – especially in today’s business. We need to adapt swiftly. My mission is not to show people my superpowers, but to show them theirs.
My focus is to enable others to flourish. Where you, your team or your organisation feel stuck, uncertain which direction to take, or want to elevate talent and take careers to their next level, I help determine that path. I help you recognise where you are uniquely powerful and vulnerable and how to leverage strengths to develop resilient , authentic leaders and teams who thrive.

Asma is a Chartered Accountant from Pakistan and England&Wales by profession, having finance and accounting experience of 16 years with diverse industry sectors. She has been living in Dubai since 2007, and have added value to leading multinational and local groups throughout her career. Born in a conservative middle class in an area dominated by strict code of life, Asma had to struggle from early life. Her independent soul refused to accept the restrictions and burdens loaded on the women of society. Asma realized early in life that if she did not want to be suffocated, she had to be educated and high achiever. Throughout her school and college life she struggled and achieved top positions. She secured two gold-medals in CA exams. She had to take tuition classes to finance her education. There was also the challenge to convince her own family that she should be allowed to fly as a free bird and achieve her goals. Life during training for professional qualification was not easy either. There were only a few lady trainees. And they were treated as trophies by the male dominated senior staff. Somehow Asma survived and achieved the Chartered Accountancy qualification with kudos. Life in the practical business world had its own challenges. Even in the 21st century there are glass ceilings. Throughout her career Asma has worked to shatter these glass ceilings. Not an easy task. In order to give a strong profile Asma decided to contest the election of the Managing Committee of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP). ICAP has approximately 1000 members in the UAE. She won the election with the highest numbers of votes and was elected as the Chair of the ICAP-UAE Managing Committee. As the Chair, Asma worked tirelessly to improve the profile and opportunities for the ICAP members in the UAE. She became the first overseas recipient of the Chartered Accountant Woman of the Year award 2019, conferred by the President of Pakistan. Besides continuing with her career, She is raising 2 kids. She also pursues community services and carries deep interest in poetry and music as part-time passion. She launched an initiative titled “Femme-Passion” comprising qualified female CAs in the UAE.

Speaker:
Emma Burdett

* Founder – WILD – Women in Leadership Deliver

A number of years ago I worked for a large corporate who asked me if I would set up a Women’s Empowerment platform. Having been in Dubai and the construction/interiors sector I had some close connections with Women in leadership. What originally started as four Women sat around a table with a sheet of paper has since become a staple, vibrant and integral network within the UAE.
At the time I realized that there was a niche in the market and a wider opportunity to include ALL Women from the sector. After leaving the role I I decided to take time out and embarked on an incredible journey of self -discovery, courage and a striking realization that inspiring Women was indeed a passion. Bringing Women together, creating a community and making a difference was something I felt compelled to do.
I was able to build on my expertise and experience to create WILD. After encountering significant challenges of which, have enabled me to be open, authentic and useful in encouraging other Women, I wrote WILD from scratch. My prerequisite was to create a platform for ALL women to come together, feel a sense of belongingness, hold events where Women can network with purpose and hear personal journey stories from a range of Women; both influencers at the top of their game and younger females just starting out.

I wanted every female in the room to leave feeling inspired, motivated, confident and ready to take on the World! WILD accomplishes just that.
With events full to the brim and Women on the edge of their seats I am proud of the impact WILD is making.

Understand the Functionality of a Royal Family Office & Learn the Art of Raising Funds – A Complete Guide – Jan 28, 2021

The First Emirati London Tech and Innovation Show

UNDERSTAND THE FUNCTIONALITY OF A ROYAL FAMILY OFFICE & LEARN THE ART OF RAISING FUNDS

A Complete Guide
Jan 28, 2021

Learn how to develop a family office and under its effective functioning. A family office is a private wealth management advisory firm that is established by an Ultra-HNWI1 to manage their family’s private wealth. Any firm that provides investment advice only to family members, is wholly owned and controlled by family members, and does not hold itself out to the public as an investment advisor is considered a family office.

It also helps secure a family’s financial future by building, preserving, and transferring family wealth and legacy. The demand for family office services kept growing as the number of Ultra-HNWIs increased over the years. Today, wealthy families rely on family offices for full time professional management of their fortune. Family offices currently stand amid a landscape filled with opportunities to expand their business further.
It therefore becomes imperative to understand these challenges and make business decisions that will help family offices emerge successfully in an environment of intense competition with private banks and other wealth management firms.

Speaker:
Asma Jan Muhammad

* Senior Finance Manager – Local conglomerate, Dubai, UAE.
Asma is a Chartered Accountant from Pakistan and England&Wales by profession, having finance and accounting experience of 16 years with diverse industry sectors. She has been living in Dubai since 2007, and have added value to leading multinational and local groups throughout her career.
Born in a conservative middle class in an area dominated by strict code of life, Asma had to struggle from early life. Her independent soul refused to accept the restrictions and burdens loaded on the women of society. Asma realized early in life that if she did not want to be suffocated, she had to be educated and high achiever. Throughout her school and college life she struggled and achieved top positions. She secured two gold-medals in CA exams. She had to take tuition classes to finance her education. There was also the challenge to convince her own family that she should be allowed to fly as a free bird and achieve her goals. Life during training for professional qualification was not easy either. There were only a few lady trainees. And they were treated as trophies by the male dominated senior staff. Somehow Asma survived and achieved the Chartered Accountancy qualification with kudos. Life in the practical business world had its own challenges. Even in the 21st century there are glass ceilings. Throughout her career Asma has worked to shatter these glass ceilings. Not an easy task. In order to give a strong profile Asma decided to contest the election of the Managing Committee of the Institute of Chartered Accountants of Pakistan (ICAP). ICAP has approximately 1000 members in the UAE. She won the election with the highest numbers of votes and was elected as the Chair of the ICAP-UAE Managing Committee. As the Chair, Asma worked tirelessly to improve the profile and opportunities for the ICAP members in the UAE. She became the first overseas recipient of the Chartered Accountant Woman of the Year award 2019, conferred by the President of Pakistan. Besides continuing with her career, She is raising 2 kids. She also pursues community services and carries deep interest in poetry and music as part-time passion. She launched an initiative titled “Femme-Passion” comprising qualified female CAs in the UAE.
