Sherihan Abd El Rahman

Technology Project Manager at Goldman Sachs

Moderator

Sherihan graduated from the University of Pennsylvania, double majoring in Political Science & Health and Societies, after which she went on to complete an MPhil in Development Studies at the University of Oxford.

Coming from a Palestinian Muslim background with a keen interest in gender equality in the Arab world, she moved back to the Middle East to work on various projects that promoted the integration of Arab women into the workforce. With the support of US Secretary of State Hillary Clinton and HM Queen Rania of Jordan, she developed a career development program to tackle youth unemployment in Jordan’s communities. Working as a Project Manager in Amman, however, she witnessed the potentially devastating impact of corruption on the effectiveness of international aid and chose to transition to the private sector post her studies at Oxford.

After working to build a food delivery startup in Tanzania, Sherihan moved to Hong Kong, where she currently works as a Technology Project Manager at Goldman Sachs. She believes that her liberal arts education helped her acquire transferable skills that enabled her to explore various professional experiences spanning the NGO world, the Public Sector, the Start-Up Industry, and the Corporate Sector. Although professionally she’s found the perfect fit as a PM at Goldman, she hopes to continue advocating for the rights of Arab women in the Middle East during her free time.
