Deep Dive with Mic Leader 2030 | JEDDAH – Building culture, leading with voice
In this thought-provoking episode of Deep Dive with Misk 2030 Leaders, we meet Magdolin Boukhary—a corporate culture shaper, leadership mentor, and lifelong storyteller whose journey weaves together resilience, creative expression, and bold leadership. From early loss to pioneering roles in some of Saudi Arabia’s leading organizations, Magdolin—known to many as Maggie—has turned personal truth into professional impact.
Rooted in story, driven by purpose
Magdolin’s story began with a spark—writing her first article at just 14. Raised in a family that nurtured her voice, she learned to question, reflect, and lead with intention. The loss of her father at a young age taught her to navigate life with strength and grace. As her career evolved, she became one of the first Saudi women to lead HR and cultural transformation in the corporate world—leaving her mark at institutions like the National Commercial Bank, Bupa, and now within Saudi Arabia’s electric vehicle movement.
But beyond job titles, Maggie is a builder of safe spaces. Through her mentorship platform MGlorious, she helps others find their voice, craft their own paths, and lead with authenticity.
Inside the episode
Magdolin opens up about the power of psychological safety, her belief in listening as a leadership skill, and how real organizational culture is built in the day-to-day interactions—not in policies or posters. She reflects on what it means to be a woman in leadership, how she redefined success after personal setbacks, and why she’s committed to coaching the next generation of changemakers.
Whether she’s writing, mentoring, or building inclusive teams, Magdolin shows us that culture isn't a function—it’s a legacy.
