He said : “ We have a quota from the government to hire Saudis and train them . We have also started to hire Saudi women and we provide specific training because it is difficult to find a Saudi female with work experience .
“ We now have at least one female for each function within the company ; it is strategically valuable for us to have the right mix , it changes the culture and principles of the company . There is a change in perspective in Saudi Arabia which is enabling women to become candidates for hiring .”
