What does it take to build a powerhouse personal brand, elevate your career, and own the next chapter of your story? Maha Abouelenein has the blueprint. For our latest KindredCast, LionTree's Rosie Kurmaniak sat down with global communications expert and founder/CEO of Digital & Savvy Maha Abouelenein. Maha will be the first to tell you — there are no overnight successes. With over 30 years of hard work, grit, and experience, she has worked alongside global corporate giants, startups, governments, CEOs and high-net-worth individuals. Her impressive resume includes serving as the former Head of Global Communications and Public Policy at Google, Promotions Planner and Sports Marketing Specialist at General Mills, and the Founding Managing Director of Weber Shandwick in MENA. In her current role as the founder and CEO of Digital & Savvy — a tech-forward, strategic communications firm — Maha focuses on delivering value through powerful storytelling that yields incredible results. And as if that weren't enough, she also serves on the Global Board of Directors of the Associated Press and hosts the “Savvy Talk” podcast. See what we mean? No overnight successes—just pure hard work and dedication. Now, Maha is ready to share her secrets to success. As she gears up to release her first book, 7 Rules of Self-Reliance (October 8, 2024), Maha opens up about her personal journey of growth and how mastering self-reliance became the key to achieving her goals. From building a personal brand to managing reputation and mastering self-growth in the ever-evolving digital landscape, Maha offers invaluable advice for anyone looking to make a mark in today’s fast-paced world.
