Dr. Hessa Al Jaber, former Qatar Minister of Information and Communication Technology, has joined LinkedIn as an ‘Influencer’, reiterating the local voice that the professional networking platform looks to bring in the region. This position is a by-invitation honor and is extended to only about 500 people around the world.

Dr. Hessa has built a reputation as a regional public personality who is very closely associated with the technology and social media sector. She is a visionary in the impact and potential of these on Arab society. She also holds prestigious posts such as the United Nations ITU Broadband Commissioner for Digital Development.

“LinkedIn’s Influencer program has been growing in stature as one of the most exclusive, invitation-only collection of thinkers, doers, and leaders. Dr. Hessa Al Jaber is a natural fit in this group, given her significant contribution to ICT in Qatar and beyond. We welcome her onboard LinkedIn as an Influencer and look forward to an engaging and enriching experience learning from her,” said Ali Matar, Head of Talent Solutions, LinkedIn.

While all LinkedIn members are able to publish blog posts on the platform, a LinkedIn Influencer is invited based on proven leadership in industries and geographies. Through its team of professional editors, LinkedIn also works with Influencers to develop content and topics that would best resonate with the Influencers’ audiences and spark meaningful professional conversations.

Dr Hessa’s first LinkedIn Influencer blog post- ‘Why My Daughter’s Generation is Facing Challenges Mine Didn’t’ had more than 18,000* views and more than 1,200* Likes.
