Meet the panel

Joining us on 8th March for IWD will be Dolores Al Shelleh. As the manager of Bedayat Business Incubator in The Sustainable City in Dubai, Dolores works closely with their team to raise awareness for climate action, gender equality and the importance of sustainable cities and communities.

She's the first Jordanian woman to summit Mt. Everest, the first Arab woman to scale Mt. Everest from the North-east ridge and the second Serbian woman to complete the mission. To add to her impressive feats, Dolores was the first Arab to summit Mount Manaslu, the world's 8th highest mountain, and she summited Mt. Mera Peak, Mt. Kilimanjaro, Mt. Elbrus, and completed a winter mountaineering course in the Alps.

Alongside Dolores, Dubai-based Kelly Lundberg (pictured above) will be speaking on our IWD luncheon panel. She is one of the most diverse business entrepreneurs to have emerged out of the styling world to date. Gaining notoriety as a celebrity stylist, she has since propelled herself to an Award-winning Business Owner, Business Mentor, and International Speaker.

Lundberg garners an ever-growing loyal following across several social media platforms, from which she shares her business knowledge, style advice, and tools for self-empowerment.

Lucy Chow (pictured above) will be joining the panel, a woman who is focused on the innovation space, both in terms of supporting founders and as an investor. She is a Director of WAIN (Women’s Angel Investor Network) and the Investment Committee, World Business Angel Investment Forum (WBAF) Start-Up Fund. She is also an investor with NextWave Ventures and the Founder Institute, both based out of the US.

Recently Lucy was honored to be a Judge for the GEMS Global Innovation Challenge (student entrepreneurs), the MIT Enterprise Forum Pan Arab & Challenge 22 Prize (an innovation award that promotes creativity in the Arab world), Gulf Customer Experience Awards and the Annual SpeakFluence Cup.

During her 13 years in Dubai, Lucy has garnered a strong reputation for originating business-focused events that target captains of industry, as well as trendsetters in the UAE through her firm, The Elements Group.
