A TRAIL-BLAZING WOMAN IN A MAN'S WORLD

• In 2003, SaLee' was invited to the Dubai Finance Forum, under the patronage of His Highness Sheikh Mohammed Bin Rashid Al-Moktoum, the Ruler of Dubai and Vice President of the United Arab Emirates.
• SaLee' is listed on the program for the Dubai Islamic Finance Forum as the only female Speaker.
• SaLee' Amina rose to power as a dynamic investment adviser from the first day that she arrived in Dubai, in 1981; but, throughout her life, she had already excelled in several fields that were not typical for women:  
• At the time, almost no one in the Arabian Gulf would have considered taking financial advice from a woman, and very few women were active in businesses, no less holding senior positions.
• Now, after nearly four decades of experience in investment advising on five continents, & having been mentored by the highest paid investment advisor in the world & hired by the wealthiest person in the world, she has spoken as an expert at numerous finance conferences, investment seminars and on television; and her advice has been sought by the rich & powerful, worldwide. Yet, SaLee's down-to-earth approach, humility and lack of arrogance has been a trademark of her personality throughout her several successful careers. She attributes much of her lack of arrogance to her being raised in a small town, being from a military family and having 'saints' for grandparents.
• SaLee' began her career in Dubai as an advisor to some of the very high level personalities in government and business at a time when very few women in the area worked.
• Her predictions in the local newspapers, since 1980, always stated that all of the UAE, and especially Dubai, would become a huge financial power and would take its place as a very highly respected global leader.
• When SaLee' Amina was hired by His Highness, Sheikh Zayed, in 1981, she often worked behind the scenes through other companies, because during that era, women were usually not accepted in high positions of business.  
• Being a woman in a man's arena made her particularly vulnerable to being the subject of gossip, since people during much of her early career were not accustomed to women working in investments. To avoid criticism, sometimes arrangements were made for her to work as an advisor to intermediary  companies & contractors, who got the acknowledgement for her valuable work.

• In 2002, Dr. SaLee' Amina was invited as an Expert in International Finance to the Geneva Finance Conference.  (A copy of the official program, with all of the Geneva Finance Speakers is on this website)
• SaLee' Amina began advising on Wealth Management as a consultant to Security Pacific Bank, in Beverly Hills, California, then she was contracted in Switzerland as an advisor for international investments and gold bullion.  
• Her dramatically profitable results had attracted some of the bank's largest foreign investors from the Arabian Gulf region.   

              BEING THE FIRST, BEING THE BEST, BEING HERSELF:

• SaLee' became Sir Harry's protege' when he was the highest paid investment advisor in the world.  Sir Harry Schultz described SaLee' as "A Human Dynamo," and insisted she become involved in all of his projects.  
• SaLee' was elected as Vice President of The World Gold Association ('WGA'), in Lausanne, Switzerland.  At the time, the WGA had no female members, except Sir Harry's wife.
• SaLee' was advising some of the wealthiest clients on their investments, as a Private Wealth Management advisor in Switzerland, at a time when women had only recently won the vote there (67% of Swiss men had previously voted against allowing women, until 1991.)
• In the Geneva Islamic Finance Conference, SaLee' was listed in the program as one of only two female Speakers, among male leaders of some of the world's biggest banks. 
• SaLee' has ALWAYS been a leader, a trail-blazer, a committed professional; even when it was unpopular to be a woman in the positions & careers she chose.
• In Geneva, Switzerland SaLee' had her jewelry business, specializing in gem collections & designing  'Objects of Art' in solid gold & gems for VIP collectors,
• SaLee' was Vice President of the World Gold Association, in Switzerland.
• In Switzerland, she was hired as an investment advisor by the UAE President, His Highness Sheikh Zayed Al-Nahyan, after seven meetings with him. 
• In Geneva, SaLee' Amina joined the entourage of HH Sheikh Sultan bin Zayed; where she assisted on his investment in Chinese antiques.
• (Programs from these events & lists of Speakers, including Dr. SaLee' Amina,  are further in this website.)

• ISLAMIC UNITY WOMEN'S CONFERENCE - Dr. SaLee' Amina Mohammed was a featured Speaker at the Women's Conference, along with Her Royal Highness Princess Raja Eleena Bint Sultan Azian of Indonesia, and  Her Imperial Highness Nadine Sultana of Turkey,  who is a direct descendant of the last Ottoman Empire Muslim Caliph (religious leader).
• Dr. SaLee’ Amina shared the stage as a Speaker at the International Islamic Unity Conference with United States Congressman & former Presidential Candidate Dennis Kucinich, United States Congressman Jim McDermott, His Royal Highness Prince Raj of Malaysia and The President of Chechnya. 
• Throughout the conference, Dr. SaLee' Amina gave eight speeches on several Islamic topics, some of which drew applause, cheers & standing ovations. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=meRYQpwh_mM 
• In several sessions of the conference, Dr. SaLee' Amina was joined on the stage by high ranking members of government, religious leaders, ambassadors and professors - such as Dr.  Eshqi of the Council of Ministers of Saudi Arabia, the Minister of Education of Kuwait, a member of Parliament of Indonesia, Under Secretary of the Ministry of Religious Affairs in Egypt, His Excellency Sheikh Abdulla Al-Dhaheri of the United Arab Emirates - Chairman of the Sheikh Zayed Charitable Trust (the world's largest contributor for charitable & development funds), the Chief Minister of Indonesia, the Sheikh of the Islamic Sharia Court in Palestine, the Deputy Minister of Malaysia, Sheikh Khabbani  & Sheikh Nazim of the Islamic Supreme Council; Ambassadors of Pakistan, Bosnia & Sudan; Professors of University of London, Howard University, DePaul University, George Washington University, University of Leicester, University of Sweden, University of Sudan, Illinois Institute of Technology & Al-Azhar University in Egypt;  Sheikh Dr. Ahmed Sakr of Islamic Center of Diamond Bar, California; and  the  spiritual leaders of Kosovo, Macedonia, Cyprus, Siberia & Russia.
•  Dr. SaLee' Amina spoke throughout the event, giving eight speeches on individual topics in the program, as well as being a moderator for V.I.P. guest speakers. 
• At the V.I.P. dinner, it was unanimously decided that of all the Heads of State, government ministers, diplomats, professors & religious leaders, it was SaLee' Amina who should sit at the head of the table (see photo on this homepage.)
• SaLee's speeches at The Women's Conference included the Role of in Islam, Marriage, Children, Women's Rights and the Importance of mothers and parents as the first educators of their children. SaLee' has been an advocate for Women's Rights for decades, and has a particular fondness for all children.   
• Although SaLee' Amina is very much involved with activities that protect & serve women, children & families, she has usually functioned professionally in areas that were typically closed to women; yet, she excelled.
• Some people in the Arabian & Islamic cultures traditionally believed that the only role for women was in the home, but SaLee' advocated that all women must have the right to be treated as equals; while they should have the option of choosing a life to remain at home, marrying or raising children, if they wish; but not because they must.
• Having an extensive history of Humanitarian activities, SaLee' Amina often selected women to work in charitable projects because it was a means by which they could make an income without raising objections from those who traditionally felt that women should not be involved in business. 
• Being female in industries that are traditionally dominated by men was nothing new to SaLee' Amina:  Her first college courses were advanced placement in 'concurrent enrollment' at Illinois Institute of Technology, which previously had been an all-male institution, while she was still in High School.  Going where most women did not dare to tread had always been her idea of an excellent challenge, and aiming for the far horizon was always 'status quo' for her, being a courageous risk taker and high-flying adventurer all of her life.   
• When asked if her personality conflicts with the traditional image of Muslim women, SaLee' replied that the common practice of subjugating women, expecting them to be silent, and insisting that they hold only domestic roles in society is NOT Islamic, but instead, is a cultural or national habit that is centuries old. Islam liberated women, but many dominating patriarchal men want to push women back into the stone age. 
• When asked if she considers herself a feminist, SaLee' responded, "I am a Muslim in every way, which means that I will stand up for justice, fairness,  ethics, truth and the equitable treatment of all people; and I will stand against any oppression, corruption, evil, mistreatment or violation of the rights of human beings, whether male or female.  Do you think that make me a Feminist?  Perhaps it simply means I am a good & fair person." 
• SaLee' Amina was a forerunner and role model for women. During the past four decades, she dared to compete against men in male-dominated professions, starting at a time when it was almost unheard of for a woman to do so. https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=zAHc8M2xeR8
