I am tempted to comment on one of her corporate ventures mentioned since I had some contact as an investor in a competitor, but I think when it comes down to it I don't trust my information enough.

But this aside, an interesting profile and leaving aside the self-serving spin that one has to expect from such articles or profiles regardless of their subject (MENA or Euro or whatever) it's a side of the region Americans need to see more of (in fits of optimism I hope that one day when I read American internet whanking about MENA I might see something that looks less like a distorted fun house mirror based off of some queer mix of Palestine and Saudiyah - although of course Arab media can oft leave one with the impression that only Cairo, Jerusalem and Riyadh and Mecca exist in the Arab world).
