Qatar Foundation Launches 'Reyada' Leadership Development Initiative

Doha, Qatar – Qatar Foundation (QF) has introduced 'Reyada', a new program aimed at elevating leadership excellence within the organization and across Qatar. Launched in collaboration with HEC Paris and Duke Corporate Education (Duke CE), this initiative seeks to cultivate top-tier talent to support QF's future growth and impact in key sectors.

Program Objectives

'Reyada' focuses on aligning leadership qualities with QF's culture, exposing participants to both local and global leadership trends through immersive learning experiences, and enhancing non-technical skills such as people management through 'leadership multiskilling'. Initially targeting current and future QF leaders, the program aims to broaden its scope to support national talent development, contributing to a future-ready workforce for Qatar.

Strategic Partnerships

HEC Paris, a renowned business school, has been a longstanding partner of QF. Their collaboration led to the establishment of HEC Paris, Doha, one of QF's international partner universities. This partnership was extended in 2024 for an additional decade. Duke CE, a leading custom education provider affiliated with Duke University in the US, brings expertise in executive education to the initiative.

Launch Event

The 'Reyada' program was unveiled at a ceremony held at QF Headquarters, marking a significant step in QF's commitment to promoting a world-class talent pipeline. This initiative reflects QF's dedication to elevating excellence and innovation across Qatar, aligning with the country's broader vision for development.
