Icons Oman proudly recognizes Faiza Al Balushi as one of the Top 100 Women Leaders, honoring her inspiring journey from creative arts to IT and commercial operations, and her unwavering commitment to breaking barriers for women in technology.

A Journey of Adaptability, Creativity, and Growth

Faiza’s professional path is a testament to the power of adaptability and lifelong learning. Her career began not in the structured world of information technology, but behind the lens as a photographer and designer. This creative foundation honed her eye for detail, problem-solving skills, and the ability to see challenges from unique perspectives. These qualities would later become invaluable in her technical career.

Transitioning from photography to office administration at HIMA Middle East FZE, Faiza quickly mastered organizational efficiency and the nuances of business operations. Her role as Commercial Administrator further broadened her expertise in client relations, business processes, and strategic thinking. Each career step, though seemingly disparate, built a robust foundation in diverse organizational functions and prepared her for the dynamic world of IT.

Breaking Barriers in IT Support

Today, Faiza serves as IT Support Specialist and Commercial Administrator at HIMA Middle East FZE, where she is responsible for ensuring seamless technical operations and supporting commercial activities. Her transition into IT was not without challenges. Moving from a commercial role to a technical support department, she faced skepticism and questions about her career choices, especially as a woman entering a male-dominated field. Rather than being discouraged, Faiza used this as motivation, proving through hard work and dedication that technical capability and professionalism have no gender.

Her journey is a powerful example of how growth often begins outside the comfort zone. By embracing every challenge as an opportunity to learn, Faiza has not only earned her place but has become a role model for women aspiring to enter technology and engineering fields.

Commitment to Lifelong Learning and Excellence

Faiza’s vision for the future is rooted in continuous evolution. She is committed to staying ahead of emerging technologies, pursuing new certifications, and mastering advanced diagnostic tools. Her proactive approach ensures she remains a pivotal resource for her organization, contributing to system reliability, user experience, and overall operational excellence.

Her background in commercial administration and creative arts gives her a unique advantage in translating technical knowledge into practical solutions that drive business value. Faiza’s ability to bridge the gap between technology and business has made her an indispensable asset to her team.

Empowering Others and Shaping the Future

Beyond her technical expertise, Faiza is passionate about empowering individuals and fostering connections. She believes in creating seamless user experiences and building reliable foundations for teams to excel. Her collaborative approach and resilience continue to drive innovation and cultivate a thriving, inclusive environment wherever she works.

Faiza’s story is not just about personal achievement. It is about paving the way for the next generation of women leaders in Oman’s technology sector. By challenging stereotypes and demonstrating what’s possible through courage and commitment, she inspires others to pursue their ambitions, regardless of the obstacles.
