The daughter of a diplomat and a teacher from Morocco, Hajar El Haddaoui has always been in contact and involved with other cultures. These experiences are part of the way she exercises her inclusive and collaborative leadership. Now living in Switzerland, she seeks to establish relationships based on trust with her teams by “connecting with the person behind the employee” first and foremost.

Her ability to go towards the other in the most authentic way; this is what most people like about Hajar. As a matter of fact, when it comes to networking, she suggests finding your own style of making a connection, daring to be your own brand and thinking broadly about what you can give to the other. Very involved towards women and people coming from diversity groups, she challenges the order of things and she names the prejudices that interfere with their growth.
