GUEST SPEAKER

MANAL RAMADAN, MANAGING DIRECTOR, ZAYTOUN CIC
Zaytoun is a Community Interest Company, a social enterprise that was founded in 2004 to support Palestinian farmers through fair trade; 100% of Zaytoun’s profits are reinvested into furthering this mission. Zaytoun worked with Palestinian farmer co-ops to pioneer the world’s first Fairtrade olive oil in 2009, and now have a range that includes grains, herbs, almonds and Medjoul dates.
Manal Ramadan joined the company after deciding to make a career change from the financial industry, leaving her job in the City of London to pursue her interest in social enterprise, particularly seeking a deeper engagement with Palestine.
She joined Zaytoun in 2009 as a maternity cover and was appointed as Managing Director in 2014. She is an Austrian national of Palestinian origin – her father was made a refugee in 1948 as a toddler and was never able to return. Manal visited Palestine for the first time when she started working with Zaytoun.
