We hope it will encourage more women to take up the sport and inspire them to excel in whatever field they choose to pursue.”
Aramco Team Series Presentation
Aramco has actually had a long association with golf, dating back to the 1940s, and the company is one of the major forces behind golf courses in Saudi Arabia. Women in the Kingdom first joined Aramco’s ranks in 1964. Other milestones since then include the first female employee to study abroad in 1981; the company’s first female executive director in 2012; and the 2018 appointment of our first female board member.
During her time at @Aramco, Saudi Arabia's Sheila Al-Rowaily has led a number of innovative and complex projects –including the creation of Wisayah, an investment management company responsible for investing the company’s pension funds.
