Dr Kate Barker’s Gulf practice spans the region’s capitals, and Doha sits naturally within it: government and enterprise engagements in Qatar draw on the same sovereign-level advisory experience she brings to the UAE and Saudi Arabia, with keynotes on AI adoption at national scale, the future of Qatari talent, and leadership for institutions navigating rapid transformation. Her keynotes on leadership in the AI era take up what that transformation asks of the people running it, from judgement when the model sounds certain to conviction when the data is ambiguous.
Based between London and the Gulf, she is available for Doha conferences, ministerial forums, board sessions and corporate leadership events with regional lead times rather than intercontinental ones. On the corporate side she has done capability architecture work in the region as well, cutting critical capability gaps by 29% inside a 46,000-person multinational with Middle East operations.
