Programming example

A crazy busy couple of weeks…In that time, I’ve:• Attended two HYROX events: London and Cape Town, in my new role as their Event Workforce Systems Manager• Started working on the European Athletic Championships as a Workforce & Volunteer Operations Manager with Power of People • Co-hosted my first community event with my sister (Afsana Akhtar), Soup & Paint, focused on creating space for a mental health break within community groups • Moved back to Riyadh, where I’ll be settling until next year May. I’m currently hybrid living between the UK and Riyadh. I went from planning to take a break straight into the deep end, but I wouldn’t change it! Working with great colleagues again reminds me why I love the events world.Cape Town was surreal. The volunteer energy was unmatched, and it was great to work with the local team while deepening my understanding of HYROX.Now I’m taking on the challenge of building a Workforce Management System for them across 20+ markets, supporting 85+ cities and 100+ events this season alone…Wish me luck 🤞🏽hashtag#hyrox hashtag#capetown hashtag#london hashtag#europeanathleticchampions hashtag#workforce hashtag#sportevent hashtag#volunteers
