Jeni was a proud member of the first ever all-female crew to enter the race, on Maiden.<\/p>\n

That\u2019s why we are committed to leveraging our brand and capabilities to help advance inclusive and sustainable economic growth.This event with DBWC is part of a wider conversation on how we can promote women’s leadership globally, and I\u2019m delighted for the opportunity to share my own experiences and insights with the business and professional community here in the UAE.\u201d<\/p>\n
