chatGRG brings out the human essence in a world of artificial intelligence.
In a world of noise and automation, we go straight to the source: people who’ve built careers, led teams, and launched ventures across this region.
Our guests aren’t here to tell stories. They’re here to share insights—shaped by years of navigating the Gulf’s unique market dynamics, cultural expectations, and leadership realities.
From career moves and hiring trends to entrepreneurial grit and executive thinking, we unpack what it really takes to succeed here, backed by real-world experience, not theory.
Whether you’re growing a career or building something of your own, this is the insight you wish someone had shared sooner.
