Mahra Seddiqi, also of Ahmed Seddiqi,joined the organisation 15 years ago and since then has been involved with the high-end jewellery brands.

“I had a very clear vision on how to develop the luxury jewellery brands in Dubai. From day one of committing myself with the organisation, I could say that I had been an instrumental part in creating awareness among clients about the high-end luxury brands – be it a timepiece or a piece and set of jewellery,”Mahra added.

Amna Bin Hendi, CEO of Bin Hendi
CEO of BinHendi Enterprise, Amna is a graduate from Zayed University with a Bachelor’s in Business Administration and Information Technology. When she joined the family business, she initially worked with every division to understand how the different support systems function.

Amna told AWJ Magazine that her company has introduced a lot of portfolios of new brands such as Joseph and Joe’s Café.

“We created our own in-house café called Now Café and Extreme Shawarma. We have just opened our second franchise Joseph & Joe’s store in Kuwait and we are growing big in the franchise sector in the UAE. Giving to the residents of the UAE what it needs, is our continuous effort.”

Amna believes women can professionally do a job as good as a man can but it’s going to take some time for women. “I think this is the biggest challenge and I want to set an example so women can come out and follow their dreams.”
