Women’s Circle with Yara Alwazir Date: Tuesday 13th May Time: 14:00-15:30 Location: LUMS LT1

We are delighted to invite you to a unique and inspiring event featuring Yara Alwazir, Head of International Planning and Governance at Amazon. With a background in chemical engineering and a career that spans the oil and gas sector to global leadership at one of the world’s most influential tech companies, Yara brings a wealth of experience and insight into navigating complex professional landscapes.

This Women’s Circle offers a safe, inclusive space for meaningful conversation around what it means to show up as a woman at work. Through shared stories of resilience, leadership, self-doubt, and strength, we’ll reflect together on our values, ambitions, and the challenges we face. It’s a chance to reconnect, support one another, and grow in community. Professor Niki Panteli will moderate the circle and share her experience during the discussion.

All are welcome — students, faculty, and staff — regardless of gender identity. Come just as you are.

Let’s come together for an open, honest, and empowering session with one of the most dynamic leaders in global business.

Can you please forward this invitation to colleagues and students in the wider university who you think would be interested.
