What we built. Where the work stands.

Founder’s previous experience

The experience behind CultureCatalyst

CultureCatalyst is shaped by Roaa Fawzi’s experience connecting business strategy, brand identity, people and operations.

  • Retail leadership in New Zealand
  • Brand direction into practice in Saudi Arabia
  • Commercial, operations and human capital

Where it comes from

Her career spans retail leadership in New Zealand and work translating international business and brand direction into practical execution in Saudi Arabia. Working with commercial teams and reporting to regional leadership, she connected business priorities with the teams, capabilities and operating practices needed to deliver them. The bridge she built between commercial and operations teams and human capital put her inside the business strategy and planning for store openings.

What the work covered

Her work has included recruitment, bringing Saudi women into the workplace, onboarding, coaching and training, brand events and brand-led training, store visits and store openings. She also designed and executed learning programmes, created training content and resources, and adapted global material to the Saudi context, with responsibility across office, commercial and field teams throughout KSA.
