State-oil giant Saudi Aramco has increased female recruitment to more than 20 percent of all new hires and doubled the number of women working in the organization over the past 10 years, company CEO Amin Nasser said at forum on Monday.

 

“In April, we appointed our first female board member,” he added.

 

Highlighting the industries and sectors where females can play a leading role, the CEO said that Saudi Aramco is hiring more qualified females and developing talent to take on diverse roles and responsibilities across its business segments.
