In this episode of Unboxing What Matters we speak to Michelle Lee, Vice President of Brand and Communications at Dubai Airports.
With a 20-year career in marketing, this stimulating conversation unpacks the role of diversity and inclusion in the increasingly multicultural environments we work in, while also highlighting the need for more multi-faceted leadership and organisational structures to enable individualism in the workplace.
Michelle shares her experience of elevating corporate performance and guest experiences through employee engagement and marketing storytelling, as the world’s largest airport shifts to becoming a leader in hospitality and service culture.
Michelle unpacks the role of technology in the future of marketing, brand building, and service culture and how the brands she represents reflect the innovative city within which they reside. The discussion closes by looking at female leadership opportunities and equality within aviation, as well as the role of sustainability as Dubai Airport journeys towards becoming the world’s best airport.
