In this podcast, Johanna Fagerberg, who is currently the Hospitality Senior Manager at Diriyah Company, talks about working in Saudi Arabia and the vast plans that the Kingdom has for hospitality and tourism. She previously was the Guest Experience Manager at The Four Seasons Hotel in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia.
Johanna also talks about her career choices and what it’s like for a European woman to work in the Middle East and in Saudi Arabia in particular. Johanna is originally from Sweden and graduated in 2011 from Glion Institute of Hospitality in Switzerland and has had, since the launch of her career, a vast international experience in multiple fields of the hospitality management industry.
Johanna also talks to us about Saudi Vision 2030, which is a strategic framework to reduce Saudi Arabia's dependence on oil, diversify its economy, and develop public service sectors such as health, education, infrastructure, recreation, and tourism.
