ABB Saudi Arabia has launched its ‘2025 Women’s Mentorship Program’, developed in partnership with the Saudi-Swedish Executive Women’s Network (SSEWN).
This initiative reinforces ABB Saudi Arabia’s commitment to empowering Saudi female talents through cross-cultural collaboration within the Kingdom and beyond.
The program is a structured initiative designed to accelerate the professional career growth of ABB Saudi Arabi’s female employees by connecting them with experienced mentors from both, the Kingdom of Saudi Arabia and Sweden.

Through monthly one-on-one virtual sessions, group mentoring, shadowing opportunities, and real-world business challenges, mentees will gain leadership insights, strategic guidance, and career development support.
Targeting both early-career professionals and high-potential Saudi female employees at ABB Saudi Arabia, the mentorship initiative aims to strengthen leadership pipelines and support Saudi Arabia’s Vision 2030 goals for increasing Saudi female participation in the workforce.
The program structure includes regular virtual mentorship sessions, cross-cultural networking, and a graduation ceremony recognizing outstanding achievements. Participating mentors will guide mentees through personalized development journeys, providing both strategic counsel and practical experience.
Ali Al-Koud, Country HR Manager, ABB Saudi Arabia, said that, “This mentorship program reflects ABB Saudi Arabia’s belief in the power of collaboration and shared success. By empowering our Saudi female talents and facilitating knowledge exchange with our Swedish partners, we are not only investing in individual careers—but also in the future of industry and innovation in the Kingdom.”
“We are proud to partner with ABB Saudi Arabia on this impactful initiative. It is a true model for global cooperation and women’s empowerment. By linking talented Saudi women with experienced professionals from the Kingdom and Sweden, we are building bridges of opportunity, knowledge, and mutual growth,” noted Katie Hagström, Director of the Saudi-Swedish Executive Women’s Network, and Mentorship Program Lead.
