Leadership in technology rarely follows a straight line.
That was the thread running through our conversation with Hiba Dabbas, CSU Leader at Microsoft, who joined us at FemiTech at King Hussein Business Park as part of the Jordan Source program. Hiba shifted fields to reach where she is today, and she spoke openly about what that journey taught her about leadership.
Her message was simple and powerful: leading in technology is no longer reserved for those who came up through it. With artificial intelligence reshaping how we all work, learn, and create, the field is opening up to people from every background, and the women ready to step into those leadership roles are the ones who will define what comes next.
Meeting leaders like Hiba is a reminder that great leadership has no single starting point, and that the future of tech in Jordan and the region will be built by people brave enough to change direction.
