This next episode keeps within the maritime industry but turns toward an inspiring female leader, Dagmar Symes.

Dagmar's inspiring leadership journey has been rooted in values instilled within her at a young age, such as resilience, respect and discipline. Her early lessons laid the groundwork for the leader she has become, progressing from the General Manager of Hill Robinson Estates to now the CEO Hill Robinson Estates Saudia.

Dagmar is a prime example of an astute female leader making her mark in the luxury hospitality sector. In this episode, we discuss female empowerment and why gender should never come into play in identifying a good leader.

Full of valuable lessons and takeaways, Dagmar talks about how there is not a one-size-fits-all approach to being a successful leader; however, maturity and failure are huge elements of success.

Dagmar is now pursuing a community-led purpose, striving to give back and transfer her knowledge to help guide the new generation. 

Her empathetic nature and nurturing skills in looking after and collaborating with teams are inspirational lessons in leadership, so tune in for this as well as her insights into the developing hospitality landscape of Saudi Arabia.
