As the Curator and Head of Partnerships, she will nurture and strengthen collaborations that advance the Forum’s mission of promoting freedom, representation, equality, responsibility, sustainability, and impact.

Armand Arton, Founder of the Global Citizen Forum, said” “The Global Citizen Forum is a community of leaders who believe that citizenship is more than just a legal status.

“It represents a commitment to making the world a better place for future generations. This is a value that Zahara shares deeply, which is why I believe she is perfect for the role.

“She is excited to be leading the Forum and helping shape its agenda for promoting positive change and impact.”

At the heart of the Global Citizen Forum’s work are its five adaptive pillars:

  • Governance
  • Technology
  • Mobility
  • Sustainability
  • Culture.

These pillars represent the foundations of global citizenship, and the Forum uses them as a channel for dialogue and action to achieve traceable, transparent, and measurable impact.

Zahara’s expertise in mobilizing private capital to drive systemic and sustainable change will be invaluable in advancing the Forum’s mission.

She said: “I am honoured to be joining the Global Citizen Forum and to have the opportunity to contribute to such a dynamic and purpose-driven community – I am truly excited to work with the Forum’s leadership and partners to drive our mission forward.

“Together, we will strive to build a better future by fostering a culture of global citizenship and taking meaningful action towards a more equitable and sustainable world”.

On December 6-7, the Forum will unveil the second chapter of The Butterfly Effect trilogy – the flagship Annual Summit held under the patronage of Sheikh Saud Bin Saqr Al Qasimi, UAE Supreme Council Member and Ruler of Ras Al Khaimah, and in partnership with Ras Al Khaimah Tourism Development Authority (RAKTDA).

Last year, the first chapter of the trilogy saw a line-up of celebrity speakers, change makers, and global visionaries, including Ricky Martin, Wyclef Jean, Vishen Lakhiani, Karen Wazen, and many more.
