Hanan recently retired from her position as General Secretary for Northeast Africa for Danone.
She was born in Egypt but has lived in many countries and her career has been far from to linear.
Hanan chose to stay at home when she had her two children and was terrified when she returned to work. She felt as many women do - that the world had changed. However, Hanan persisted and, when she moved from Amsterdam to Saudi Arabia, had the courage to pitch a programme proposals directly to the head of a Saudi TV station.
Hanan's story is a great reminder that we can do anything if we set our minds to it.
