Throughout her career, Alshamsi has not only advanced her own professional path, but
has also made it a priority to lift others as she climbed. “One key achievement in my
career has been mentoring other women and helping to create more inclusive

environments. This has been incredibly fulfilling to me as a woman contributing to the
growth of others,” she shared. Her commitment to mentoring has played a significant

role in fostering a more inclusive industry where women can thrive and contribute to
the sector’s success.

Balancing a demanding career with personal responsibilities is a challenge many

working mother, I have been able to show my children the value of perseverance and

the importance of role modelling for the next generation.

UAE’s leadership and government policies. “I am incredibly proud, grateful, and blessed

to be contributing to a nation that empowers women to succeed,” she expressed. This
supportive backdrop has allowed Alshamsi and many other Emirati women to rise to

prominent positions within the logistics and supply chain industry, driving innovation
and growth in the sector.

operations and enhancing performance,” Alshamsi highlighted. This approach has

excellence that others in the sector aspire to follow.

Beyond operational success, the culture at 7X has also been significantly shaped by its

mentoring and developing emerging talents ensures that we have a skilled and
motivated workforce ready to meet future challenges,” Alshamsi noted. This focus on

mentorship and talent development has created a supportive environment where all
