Saudi business woman Lubna al-Olayan tak

JEDDAH, SAUDI ARABIA: Saudi business woman Lubna al-Olayan takes part in the Jeddah Economic Forum 17 January 2004. So long marginalised in Saudi Arabia, women dominated today's opening of the influential Jeddah Economic Forum, which heard a ringing call for change from the first female to deliver the keynote speech. Lubna al-Olayan, chief executive officer of Olayan Financing and one of the conservative kingdom's top businesswomen, sent out an unveiled and hard-hitting message in her address entitled "A Saudi Vision for Growth".
