In today’s ever-changing world, the ability to navigate crises with resilience and innovation is more important than ever. Leaders face constant challenges, from market changes to internal shifts, and how we respond can shape an organization’s future.

Meet Louai Al Roumani, a leader who thrived in one of the most challenging environments imaginable, in our EGN Global live webinar April 24 from 9-10.00 AM CET.

Louai Al Roumani is the bestselling author of “Lessons from a Warzone: How to be a Resilient Leader in Times of Crisis published by Penguin in 2020, which The Times called ‘A remarkable book telling business leaders what to do when disaster strikes’.

Leading Through Crisis
Louai Al Roumani was a key member of the management team at Banque Bemo Saudi Fransi (BBSF) in Syria when the conflict erupted in 2011. Over the next four years, as head of finance and strategy, Louai led his team through unprecedented challenges: a 97% currency depreciation, constant threats of violence, six CEOs in eight years, and a skyrocketing default rate. Despite these challenges, Louai and his team built resilience, kept their bank thriving, and innovated in ways that protected their clients and staff.

In this webinar
Louai will share his powerful insights on crisis management, leadership under extreme pressure, and the importance of creative, innovative thinking during times of disaster. He will also offer tangible strategies for managing fear, risk, and the human side of leadership when facing unimaginable odds.

What to expect:

  • Insights from a Real Crisis: Louai will walk you through his experiences during the Syrian conflict and share the key steps that helped him and his team stay resilient.
  • Practical Leadership Lessons: Learn how to manage crises and risk with a positive mindset and innovative solutions.
  • Resilience and Perseverance: Discover how lessons learned in a war zone can shape effective leadership strategies in today’s uncertain world.

This webinar will equip you with the mindset and tools necessary to lead through crisis, whether in your organization or personal life. We look forward to seeing you there.
